Working at Marketscan Ltd

Since its inception over 35 years ago, Marketscan’s vision is to offer an innovative range of products and services to the B2B marketing community, which sets new and continually improving standards of targeting and convenience all from a single source.

We use our expertise to create the best quality database available. Personal service is a key element of our business and our experienced team work closely with clients.

We are an award-winning company and have won ‘Outstanding B2B Data Provider’ category at the DBM Awards a record 5 times. We are also a founder member of the DMA.

Why the Marketscan Megabase™?

We all want to capture as much of our market as possible and not leave untapped opportunities to be exploited by the competition. That’s why, when searching for sales leads it’s vital to get maximum market coverage. Unfortunately, no database from any single supplier, however big they are, is a complete list of UK businesses and the quality varies too.

To meet the needs of marketers, Marketscan has developed a unique multi-sourced database of UK Business. It’s called The Marketscan Megabase™. This definitive database has earned an enviable reputation for coverage and quality due to its unique method of construction and updating.

A Unique Marketing Resource

Maximum coverage is assured by combining the data from the five top UK sources and quality is enhanced by using the most recent data where there is duplication. Every record is then subjected to a range of checks and corrective actions to give a reference file of outstanding coverage and quality.

Our sources:

1. Thomson Directories
2. 118 Information
3. Dun and Bradstreet
4. Corpdata
5. Companies House
 

Great Value

In addition to the marketing benefits of using multi-sourced data, our customers get exceptional value for money; as even with the data enhancement and extra quality checks, prices are comparable with those of leading single source suppliers. We are so confident of the quality of our data that all supplies are covered by a Marketscan warranty:

• 98% deliverability warranty on all postal data
• 90% deliverability warranty on all email data
• All telephone numbers checked against the Telephone Preference Service and Corporate Telephone Preference Service registers every 24 hours

At The Heart of What We Do

Whether its lists for sales leads, database building, cleaning, enhancement or a special project, the quality and coverage of Megabase™ data is paramount – it’s at the core of all Marketscan services.

How Megabase™ is built

Over 8m records are received from our feeds on a monthly basis. These are meticulously blended into a single file, the Marketscan Megabase™, and result in a database of superior quality and coverage.

New employees train and work with various departments within the company to learn about products & services and the data marketing industry. We have a wealth of experienced sales and technical personnel who have worked for the company for many years, and we encourage a supportive environment to aid the learning experience.

Previous new employees have always highlighted the support of our team as one of the greatest benefits in helping them learn the role.
