Metadata’s latest platform features include:
Salesforce Pipeline Attribution
Metadata now pulls Salesforce data into its new pipeline attribution engine based on opportunities influenced or directly generated by digital advertising. It automatically calculates the exact value of Account-based Advertising campaigns, as well as cost-per-lead, making it easy for marketers to attribute the exact ROI and show impact for advertising.
Custom Audiences from Marketo, Salesforce and HubSpot
In addition to targeting net-new accounts, marketing teams can now identify and engage existing accounts (i.e. sales acceleration campaign). Metadata automatically identifies and engages existing contacts, then re-engages leads that may be stale or require additional activity.
Instagram Ads, LinkedIn Video Ads
Metadata now automatically runs ads on Instagram (as part of Facebook campaigns) and LinkedIn Video Ads, expanding account-based advertising reach capabilities.
AI-Context Activity Logs
Metadata takes the mystery out of AI with new AI-Context Activity Logs that provide easy-to-understand visibility into machine-learning optimization activities in real-time. Teams now have context into the “how” and “why” the Metadata AI engine manages operations and optimizes campaigns.

Metadata Open APIs
Metadata Open API allows clients to download, act on and integrate every converted lead from applications outside of HubSpot, Marketo or Salesforce. This allows all converted leads from Metadata, regardless of source, to be integrated into a company’s primary contact/lead database.
Multivariate Experimentation Analytics
Metadata’s new multivariate experimentation analytics allow customers to see exactly how AI is optimizing campaigns and what experiments are taking place. This provides teams with better understanding, in real-time, of what is working and what is not working when conducting multivariate experiments in the hundreds or thousands.
