Published

on

Awards honour the brands and partners who deliver exceptional customer experiences and meaningful business results.

LONDON, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invoca, the leader in revenue execution platforms, today announced the recipients of its 2024 Impact Awards. Now in its 7th year, this program celebrates the brands and partner teams that have mastered alignment between marketing and sales, resulting in wins across many key business metrics, such as revenue growth and ad spend efficiency. These awards recognize B2C companies that have optimised the buyer journey, embraced revenue execution and driven meaningful business results.  

Invoca’s The State of B2C Revenue Execution Report 2024 revealed how poor alignment between B2C marketing, sales, and contact centre teams significantly impacts revenue growth, especially in high-consideration purchase industries. The 2024 winners exemplify the potential for B2C companies that prioritise tightly aligned revenue teams to deliver an exceptional customer journey from first click to final sale.

“B2C brands are operating in a more competitive, fragmented buyer landscape than ever before,” said Jennifer Lovette, SVP of Customer Success at Invoca. “We are incredibly proud to celebrate the brands and partner teams that are using revenue execution to its fullest potential to deliver exceptional customer experiences and drive meaningful business results.”

The 2024 Impact Award finalists include notable brands across a range of industries from telecom to home services, healthcare and more who stand out for the impressive business results they’ve seen through their adoption of revenue execution, as well as partners who are helping Invoca shape the next generation of industry tools and cutting edge solutions. Get inspired by their stories here.

This year’s Invoca Impact Awards winners are:

Best Revenue Team

Since using Invoca, they’ve seen a 34% reduction in cost-per-call, a 61% spike in call orders and 27% rise in web orders.

Buyer Journey Excellence
Winner: AT&T

The Buyer Journey Excellence Award winner provides the best experience to consumers by equipping their sales team with high-value insights about incoming calls. Sellers effectively use this information to optimise the buying experience and convert more calls.

“The work we’ve done with Invoca to enrich visitor profiles and enable audience-first routing has truly been a game changer that is giving us meaningful conversion lifts, and we’re seeing the impact on both the consumer and the business side,” said Ben Downing, Director, Marketing Technology and Digital Enablement at AT&T. “We’re thrilled to see where this takes us next – thank you for the honour!”

In just one quarter, CenterWell has positioned Invoca at the core of their data-driven decisions.
