Aberdeen is an international intent-based marketing company that collects and analyzes data on buyer behavior across 200+ B2B (Business-to-Business) sectors. Aberdeen's headquarters is based in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States.,[1] with an additional US office location in San Diego, California, as well as three European offices in France, Spain, and the United Kingdom.[2]

With a focus on converting intent data into measurable ROI, Aberdeen provides accurate and targeted findings for a range of industry sectors including Business Intelligence,[3] Customer Experience Management,[4] Financial Management and Governance Risk and Compliance,[5] Human Capital Management,[6] Information Security,[7] Manufacturing and Engineering,[8] IT Infrastructure,[9] Supply Chain Management,[10] etc.

History

Aberdeen was originally founded in 1988 to use enterprise data to help businesses make business decisions by using data governance.[11] Aberdeen has since been acquired by two different companies: Harte Hanks in September 2006 and later Halyard Capital in April 2015.[12][13] The company initially provided technology industry data and predictive analytics for B2B marketers and sales teams, but as of 2018, provides targeted intent data for marketing and sales.[14][15][16]    

Aberdeen’s method combines online interactions (topic, keywords, PageURL, and Opt-in) with targeting data (company, location, contacts), and first-party visitor intelligence and win/loss history.[17] Aberdeen has databases of opt-in users who have explicitly said that they are looking for certain technology and want to purchase in a specific time-frame.[18] On blind tests run by clients, Aberdeen’s models achieved 91% accuracy in predicting purchase intent.[15]

From 2016 to 2018 the Group partnered with Bombora, a provider of B2B demographic and intent-based data.[19][20]

On October 30, 2017, Marc Osofsky became Aberdeen’s chief executive officer and a member of the board of managers; Gary Skidmore became the chairman of Aberdeen.[21]

From 2016 to 2018 the Group partnered with Bombora, a provider of B2B demographic and intent-based data.[22][23]

On October 30, 2017, Marc Osofsky became Aberdeen’s chief executive officer and a member of the board of managers; Gary Skidmore became the chairman of Aberdeen.[24]

In December 2018, Aberdeen acquired The Big Willow, an intent data provider.[25][26] The Big Willow gathers its data in part by tracking 3.7 billion device IDs across over 12 billion web pages.[27][28][15]

The acquisition allowed Aberdeen to enhance its intent data offerings by being able to provide specific company locations and target contact titles.[27][29][27][15] As part of the acquisition, The Big Willow CEO Charlie Tarzian became President and Chief Innovation Officer at Aberdeen, and The Big Willow COO Keith Blackwell became COO of Aberdeen.[30][15][27]
