Featuring the top piece of advice from each executive, our collective voice is focused on creating actionable steps for you to enter 2018 with a kick-ass ABM program.

ABM has never been solely about selecting accounts and delivering ads… or email or packages. For ABM to be successful, marketers need to be able to identify a great audience, know their buying personas, understand their needs, deliver content that’s focused on those varied needs and measure the results of those efforts. Simple, right?

Not so simple… 

• 75% of buyers prefer fewer ads (marketing) that are aligned to their needs;
• 71% say they would be interested if it were tailored to their interests and habits.
• People are 7X more likely to click on a marketing message that reflects their preferences and habits.

This understanding of buyer needs and interest doesn’t start with the purchase of a new platform. Typically, it already exists. For most mid to large organizations, you already have the digital exhaust of prior engagement within your target accounts. Find it and you will find engagement and revenue traction. You’ll find ABM 2.0!
