Built around your audience

Who do you need to reach?

Whether you're launching an event, entering a new market or expanding your prospect database, we help you find the right organisations and people to support your growth.

✓

Find New Audiences

Identify potential customers, visitors or prospects who aren't already in your database, opening up opportunities beyond your existing contacts.

✓

Reach Decision-Makers

Find relevant contacts within your target organisations, based on job titles, responsibilities and seniority, rather than relying on generic lists.

✓

Target Niche Markets

Reach specialist sectors and hard-to-find audiences using bespoke research aligned to your particular targeting criteria.

✓

Expand Market Coverage

Discover relevant organisations and contacts missing from your existing data, helping you build a broader picture of your potential market.

✓

Build Campaign-Ready Data

Receive structured, quality-checked contact records researched to your brief, ready for your team to prepare and use in targeted marketing campaigns.

Bespoke research, personal service

Not another generic contact list.

Off-the-shelf databases often leave you filtering through contacts that aren't relevant to your campaign.

We take a different approach. You tell us which organisations, job roles, sectors and locations matter. Our research specialists, supported by TDB-AI, build your audience against that brief.

You'll work with a dedicated UK account manager, with quality checks before your data is delivered.

✓ Researched to your specific brief
✓ Organisations and roles that matter
✓ Existing contacts excluded when requested
✓ Human-led, AI-supported research
✓ UK account management and quality review

Frequently Asked Questions

B2B Data Building FAQs

Everything you need to know about our bespoke B2B data building services, from finding the right contacts to researching and delivering your targeted prospect data.

01

Where does The Data Business source its B2B contact data?

We build bespoke B2B contact lists through our own research, using publicly available business information and our internal TDB-AI technology to support the process. Our specialist researchers identify and qualify organisations and relevant contacts against your agreed brief, rather than simply reselling third-party data lists.

02

Can you build a targeted B2B contact list for a specialist or niche market?

Yes. Our bespoke data building service is designed for businesses targeting specific industries, organisation types, job roles and geographic locations. We can also exclude companies or contacts already in your database. We'll assess the available market and discuss what is realistically achievable before the project begins.

03

Why choose bespoke B2B data building instead of buying an existing contact list?

Off-the-shelf B2B contact lists are generally created for broad audiences and may include records that don't match your requirements. Our data is researched specifically for your campaign, with agreed targeting criteria, exclusions and quality checks. This gives your marketing team a more relevant audience without the need to filter through large volumes of unsuitable contacts.

04

How long does a bespoke B2B data building project take?

Delivery times depend on the number of records required, the complexity of your target audience and the research involved. As a guide, we typically research around 500 records per week per project, although this varies according to the brief. We can arrange delivery in batches or as a completed dataset, depending on your campaign requirements.

05

How do you check the accuracy and quality of B2B contact data?

Our research team qualifies records against your agreed audience criteria, with additional quality reviews by our UK team before delivery. This includes checking that organisations and contacts match your requirements and validating email information. We work towards an email validation target of at least 96%, recognising that business contact data naturally changes over time.
