ABM
What is ABM?
Identifying and targeting a key set of accounts,
using personalised and highly tailored campaigns
to generate leads.
Based on the assumption that B2B buying
decisions are usually made by a select group of
people rather than a single person.

Delivering relevant messaging to the most relevant


people within a company.
BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES A SEXY STAT

According the recent stats* 80% of


marketers say AMB outperforms all
other marketing channels in terms of
ROI

Should you try ABM?
Sound familiar?

The product your marketing is high value and the sales cycle is long
You’re constantly being told the leads are poor quality
It’s marketing vs sales, the “team” is non-existent
Side effects may include

Hot, pre-qualified leads + stronger pipeline = sales


SEXY STAT ALERT AGAIN

When ABM has been in use for at least a


year, 60% of those using it reported a
revenue increase of at least 10% & 19%
reported a revenue impact of 30% or
greater.

ABM might be the better approach than traditional funnel
marketing.
