Stop burning budget on the wrong audience

One signal from one ABM platform only tells you so much — and it’s telling all your competitors the same thing. Iron Horse uses Clay to build and activate audiences that are uniquely yours.

The Audience Problem

We’re the strategic Clay partner built for marketers

Generic data is
killing your growth programs

When you and your competitors target the same accounts, your match rates plummet and your costs rise. Further downstream, your reach, engagement rates, and account influence all pay the price. Here’s how that happens.

  1. Audiences get built from a single source

    Intent signals from ABM platforms are a solid first step for narrowing your audience, but most mid-market and enterprise B2B marketers treat that output as the final list.
  2. You get the same targeting as your competitors

    Most ABM platforms pull from the same pool of topic- and keyword-based search signals. Segmentation is limited by what the platform allows or charges per segment.
  3. Bad match rates mean you pay more for less.

    Your match rates suffer across LinkedIn, Google Ads, and Meta. And on some platforms, you can’t even target at the account level.
  4. Everything downstream takes a hit.

    Your ads underperform, your ABM misses the mark, and outreach lands on the wrong people. Sales utters the dreaded words: “These leads suck.”

    FAQ

    Your questions, answered

    What is Clay?

    Clay is a data enrichment and workflow automation platform that helps build precise audiences, enrich accounts, and automate research at scale. It pulls from over 175 data sources, adding an intelligence layer to your growth programs to make them sharper and more effective.

    How is Iron Horse different from other Clay partners?

    We’re demand gen and growth marketing experts who use Clay to drive measurable growth. We start with the audience, building personalized account dossiers that allow reps to follow up quickly and with context. We also stay on as your managed services partner, rather than setting things up and walking away.

    Do we need Clay already, or do you help us get set up?

    We’ll meet you where you are. Our experts can handle the setup, implementation, and integration with your existing tech — including martech, web, data and salestech. If you already have Clay, we can audit what you have and identify opportunities for improvement.

    What does an engagement look like — is this a one-time build or ongoing?

    We’re flexible to your needs. Most of our engagements are ongoing: We stay on as your managed services partner, continuously optimizing your audiences, refreshing your data, and identifying new use cases as your growth motion evolves.

    We already use Demandbase or 6sense — does Clay replace those or work alongside them?

    It works alongside them. Clay makes your existing tools more powerful by layering in additional AI-informed, custom signals that those platforms can’t see on their own.

    What kinds of companies is this right for?

    We work with mid-market and enterprise B2B companies focused on growth. If your targeting isn't as sharp as it should be, we should talk.

    How long before we see results?

    It depends on the use case, but typically clients see measurable results within the quarter. We’ll set clear benchmarks at the start of every engagement so you know exactly what to expect and when.
