The Survival Guide for ABM Marketers
ABM with purpose
Too often ABM campaigns don’t get off the ground, they stall, or they’re stop-start. All for the lack of purpose.
We create ABM with purpose, so instead of just “doing ABM”, you’re using ABM to do something very specific. Something the business will thank you for.
ABM going nowhere?
You need a burning platform
A Burning Platform acts as the ignition point that gets your project off the ground. It’s not just about setting objectives; it’s about creating a unifying mission that clarifies the path forward.
Your Burning Platform might sound a bit like…
adoption
footprint
a competitor
an RFP
partner not vendor
When your ABM has purpose…
- Marketing and account owners become partners
- Alignment and direction sets a clear ABM strategy
- Effort and budget spent on ABM has impact
- No more wasting time on merch or writing sales emails
- Marketing tangibly supports business growth goals
ABM that’s more than PPT decks and branded merch
Inspirational videos that ignite imaginations.
Creative concepts that pack a punch and inspire action.
Dynamic and interactive content that tells a story.
Account workshops that feel less like work.
Voice of Customer insights that are, well — insightful.
Plans for events targets actually want to attend.
Burning platform in hand, let’s understand the audience
And we’re not talking about your dusty old personas either. ABM calls for precision messaging that resonates. That’s why we uncover buyer truths to give you that all-important connection point with your audience.
Resources
Leading the way with purposeful ABM
Slack
Connecting with Financial Services leaders by speaking to their personal motivations
Challenge
The Slack team was passionate about transforming organisations in the traditional banking sector. But to cut through they needed to communicate this emphatically.
Solution
An ABM campaign that spoke to personal motivations and what stood in the way. A strong point of view supported thought leadership and sales enablement that championed the buyer’s cause.
Salesforce
Using buyer insights to create a meaningful value exchange for Sales leaders
Challenge
Germany’s ‘Mittelstand’ companies are unique and have a disproportionate impact on the economy. Identifying and connecting with these buyers would take deep understanding.
Solution
An insight-driven campaign spoke to the motivations of Sales leaders in this unique segment and included targeted ABM content and comms as well as tools and assets for sellers.
DocuSign
Making DocuSign relevant to CIOs when their focus shifted from digital transformation to productivity and cost savings
Challenge
DocuSign needed to find a way to make their solutions relevant to CIOs whose tech budgets were tightening and priorities shifting.
Solution
A targeted ABM programme that uses provocative messages and statistics to spotlight the productivity killing potential of paper-based processes.
It takes a village
ABM with purpose calls for specialist teams from across the agency: from research & insights, strategy and campaign planning through to writers, designers and videographers.
Whatever the team ends up looking like, you can rest assured you’re in safe hands.
