Reach the People Who Matter with Decision Maker Marketing
Reach the People Who Matter with Decision Maker Marketing
How it Works
In as soon as 72 hours of signing on with Applecart, our team digests your challenge, builds audiences to meet your specifications, and puts you in a position to start generating visibility for your message with the decision makers most important to your organization and those they consult. Our platform is versatile to meet your objectives: we can move quickly in a crisis or more methodically as part of a long term brand campaign.
Identify Your Decision Makers
Every business has a unique set of stakeholders. Applecart can reach yours. Tell us who you want to reach with your message, by name, and Applecart’s platform will build an audience designed to reach them.

Select the types of relationships surrounding the Decision Maker you’d like to reach
Our platform maps billions of relationships between people of all types. After you’ve identified the decision makers you want to reach, you can then decide what types of people in their orbit you do—and don’t—want to reach with your message. For a sales use case, it could be relevant to reach a buyer’s family members and friends with whom they might discuss a purchase. In contrast, to make progress on a policy issue with a Senator, it might be more relevant to reach staffers, former staffers, donors, and colleagues.
Our platform doesn’t build “cookie cutter” audiences. We give you the flexibility to make sure you are reaching the people who will influence the decision maker with respect to the specific outcome you are looking to impact.
Segment your audiences to match how you want to communicate
Not every message is designed to reach every audience. With our platform, you can segment your audience across any number of dimensions to ensure each decision maker’s network receives exactly the message you want them to receive and doesn’t receive messaging that you don’t want them to receive. This segmentation also allows you to measure performance in a more granular way: by individual Decision Maker Network or type of Decision Maker.

Reach your audiences on nearly any channel
Once your audiences are finalized, Applecart then delivers them for targeting on the platforms where you want to reach your decision makers and their networks. Our platform enables integration with hundreds of one-to-one advertising channels from social media platforms to news websites and television streaming services, to offline channels like direct mail and text message. This ensures that you can reach your audience wherever they spend their time.
We offer both self-serve and managed service options to activate
To get your content live, there are two options to access Applecart’s audiences: we can either integrate with your own media buying capabilities (agency or in-house) or execute the campaign on your behalf. Either way, we can be up and running within days.
Managed Service: For clients who would prefer for us to not only provide the targeting, but also deliver the advertising on their behalf, we provide a managed service option where our team works with you to design the audiences and then we handle everything from content delivery to reporting, optimization, and performance analysis. This option is most-often used by senior executives looking for a “plug and play” solution.
Self-Serve: This option is often used by paid marketing professionals. Use your own media buying agency and activate Applecart's audiences in your advertising platform accounts. Applecart can provide all other services available to our Managed Services clients.
We provide a suite of proprietary reporting and measurement tools
Regardless of whether you choose the self-serve or managed service option, we provide a suite of proprietary measurement and reporting tools that allow you to understand the performance of your Applecart campaign and optimize throughout to ensure the greatest possible impact.
