Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
A B2B strategy that targets specific high-value accounts with personalized campaigns rather than casting a wide net.
Why It Matters
ABM delivers 97% higher ROI than other marketing strategies for B2B companies with high-value deal sizes.
How It Works
Sales and marketing align on a target account list, research each account's needs and decision-makers, and create personalized content, ads, and outreach for each. Multi-channel engagement touches multiple stakeholders within each account simultaneously.
Real-World Example
A cybersecurity firm targets 50 enterprise accounts with custom landing pages, personalized ads, and executive dinner events, closing 12 deals worth $2M.
Common Mistakes
Targeting too many accounts and diluting personalization effort
Running ABM without tight sales and marketing alignment
