Companies

The Company object allows you to represent organizations, businesses, or accounts within the platform. By associating Contacts with a Company, you can manage data at both person and organization levels — enabling richer segmentation.

Why Use Companies?

Many marketing, sales, and support workflows happen at the account level — not just the individual level. The Company object allows you to:

  • Group multiple contacts under a single organization.

  • Store shared attributes (e.g., company size, industry, region) centrally.

  • Run account-based campaigns

  • Avoid data duplication by managing organization info in one place.
