What is Account-Based Marketing?
Account-based marketing is a data-driven B2B strategy designed to focus attention and investment on a defined list of prospective accounts. This represents a fundamental shift in strategy – From the objective of acquiring and nurturing individual relationships to the laser-focused strategy to engage specific buyer roles at specific target accounts. This strategy represents a departure from inbound and B2C practices where the focus is on targeting and building relationships with individuals. In contrast, ABM seeks to engage and influence specific buyer roles at specific target accounts.
Six key capabilities have been identified as the defining characteristics of successful Account-Based Marketing programs:
- Account selection
- Insights
- Content
- Orchestration
- Targeted delivery
- Measurement
