Anteriad expands into Japan with local expertise and strong demand. Anteriad, a global leader in AI and data-driven, tech-enabled B2B marketing, announced Anteriad Japan, with a dedicated local presence. Anteriad Japan has already closed business with several global brands and in-region marketers, a strong early sign of demand for Anteriad's solutions in that market. Anteriad's global data engine powers this expansion with over 110% growth in international intent signal and location intelligence in the last year. The company tracks over 500 billion B2B buyer signals every month, uncovering the full buying groups behind every deal, not just single contacts. That intent data, paired with Anteriad's analytics and multichannel execution, gives global marketers a clear, privacy-compliant view of who's ready to buy. Now that same edge extends directly into Japan, backed by a team that knows the market firsthand. As part of the launch, Lavin Bolwani is joining as Vice President, Sales, Japan. In his new role, Bolwani will lead Anteriad's commercial growth in Japan, deepening relationships with B2B marketers across the region. Most recently, Bolwani held senior sales roles at StackAdapt and Teads and has spent much of his career working with global brands and agency partners in Japan across digital advertising and programmatic media. "Japan is a mature market, yet B2B marketers still face significant challenges around fragmented data, long and complex buying journeys, and identifying which accounts are genuinely in-market. Anteriad has an opportunity to change that by combining high-quality B2B data, intent intelligence, ABM, and full-funnel activation," said Lavin Bolwani, VP Sales in Japan at Anteriad. He added, "I'm incredibly excited to build on the momentum we already have here and help raise the standard for B2B marketing in Japan." "We are delighted to welcome Lavin Bolwani as our new Vice President, Sales, Japan. It's one of the world's most sophisticated B2B markets, built on trust, long-term relationships and an unwavering commitment to quality," said Jake Phibbs, EVP Sales, APAC at Anteriad. He added, "Establishing a local presence is about far more than expanding our footprint. It's about investing in the market, understanding local nuances, and partnering with organizations the way business actually gets done here. This move reflects the growing demand we're seeing from both global and regional companies looking for a partner with deep demand generation expertise and a real understanding of the Japanese market."

Anteriad Recognized by Business Intelligence Group with 2026 Sales and Marketing Excellence Award, The Sammy Winner of the Growth Catalyst Product/Service Award for AI Powered Marketing and Sales, Recognized for helping B2B organizations effectively identify and reach buying groups New York, NY (July 7, 2026) - Anteriad, a global leader in AI and data-driven, tech-enabled B2B marketing, today announced that the company has won The Sammy, the Business Intelligence Group's award for excellence in sales and marketing, for the second year in a row. Anteriad earned top honors in the Growth Catalyst Product/Service for AI Powered Marketing and Sales category. "The 2026 Sammy winners are not just great marketers, they are accountable ones. What set this year's honorees apart was their ability to connect strategy to outcomes and show exactly what moved the needle. Anteriad is a strong example of that standard in action," said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group. More marketing and sales teams are embracing buying groups, using data to inform a more coordinated approach to driving pipeline, but there is ample opportunity to increase the use of buying group intelligence. Anteriad's recent research with Ascend 2, "The 2026 B2B Marketing Edge: Control is the Competitive Advantage," finds that only 38% of B2B marketing teams have fully implemented buying groups. Most companies are still nascent in their use of buying group data to inform sales and marketing strategies. Anteriad provides the AI-powered solution to close that gap. Using Anteriad's proprietary verified contact records, firmographic intelligence, behavioral signals, engagement and intent data, the Anteriad Marketing Cloud dynamically identifies and assembles complete buying groups tailored to the product being sold and the organization being targeted. Marketers can build buying groups dynamically using AI or map the known persona, titles and roles manually, then activate them immediately across multichannel campaigns, content syndication, and BDR outreach in 25+ languages. Anteriad received a 5 out of 5, the highest score possible, in the Buying Group Detail criterion in The Forrester Wave(TM): Marketing and Sales Data Providers for B2B, Q1 2026. In the company's view, this score speaks to the buying group capabilities Anteriad has been delivering to customers since Q4 2025 through its AI-Driven Buying Group Profiles in the Anteriad Marketing Cloud. "We are delighted to receive recognition of our AI-powered Buying Group solution with this Sammy award. Our full-funnel buying group capability combines audience discovery, planning, campaign orchestration and measurement using AI to increase insight, efficiency and performance. As more B2B marketing and sales teams embrace buying groups, Anteriad is the partner that gets them further, faster, with less guesswork along the way," said Rob Sanchez, CEO at Anteriad. The Sales and Marketing Excellence Awards honor the organizations, campaigns, teams, technologies, and individuals setting the standard for what sales and marketing can accomplish when strategy, execution, and accountability converge. This year's program attracted nominations from organizations across more than 20 industries worldwide and was evaluated by a panel of experienced business executives using objective scoring benchmarks.

APAC is saying the quiet part out loud for global B2B Marketing. Anteriad, LLC just attended one of Sydney's best conferences, B2B Marketing Leaders Forum APAC, and the conversations on the marketplace floor told Anteriad, LLC everything Anteriad, LLC needed to know about where marketers are headed. Anteriad, LLC chatted with demand gen managers, marketing directors, and CMOs from some of the biggest brands, and here's what's on their minds. AI is everywhere. Confidence is not. Every session, every booth conversation, every hallway chat circled back to AI. Marketers are under real pressure to adopt it, and most are moving fast. But speed and clarity aren't the same thing. The question Anteriad, LLC kept hearing wasn't "are you using AI?" It was "how do you actually use it well?" That's a meaningful distinction. There's a big difference between having AI in your stack and knowing how to turn it into pipeline. The marketers doing it right are harnessing AI and its ability to approach challenges in new ways, not just plugging it in and hoping for the best. Budgets are tighter. Expectations aren't. Headcount cuts. Budget reductions coming from global HQ. The "do more with less" reality isn't new, but it's hitting harder this cycle. What stood out to Anteriad, LLC was how many marketers are being asked to show faster ROI while simultaneously being asked to go broader into new audiences and markets. That's a tough spot. You need efficiency and reach at the same time. Marketers who are winning are demanding more and solving with precision. Buying committees are getting more complicated. Longer decision cycles. More stakeholders. Less certainty about who actually has budget authority. The days of targeting a single contact and calling it a campaign are long gone. Marketers know this. The frustration is that most of their systems and programs weren't built to handle it. Anteriad, LLC had more conversations than expected about appointment setting, specifically about having a local team that can work those buying committees in-market. When you're trying to break into accounts in a specific region, remote outreach only goes so far. New verticals are wide open. One of the more energizing themes from Sydney was the breadth of industries represented. Professional services. Manufacturing. Engineering. These aren't categories that typically show up heavily at B2B marketing events, and yet here they were, asking all the right questions about data, demand gen, and how to build a smarter marketing operation. That's not a Sydney thing. It's a signal. B2B marketers outside traditional tech are waking up to what's possible, and the vendors who show up for them early are going to win big. What it means for you. Whether you're running demand gen for a global software company or building a marketing engine in a market you're still figuring out, the fundamentals haven't changed. You need data you can trust, programs that reach the right people, and a partner who actually understands your market. The conversations in Sydney confirmed what Anteriad, LLC hear from marketers everywhere: the bar is higher, the budgets are tighter, and the pressure to prove impact is real. That's exactly the environment Anteriad, LLC were built for, and I'm excited to see what's next, especially when Anteriad, LLC connect with B2B marketers at B2B Marketing Leaders Forum ASIA in October. If any of it hits close to home, Anteriad, LLC'd love to keep the conversation going. Reach out and let's talk about what's working and what Anteriad can do to help you get there faster.
