“It is a structured approach to developing and
implementing highly customized marketing
campaigns to markets of one: accounts, partners, or
prospects.
This approach involves marketing and sales taking
a close look at key business issues facing the target
account, mapping those issues to individuals, and
tailoring campaigns to address those issues.”
Note: ITSMA’s Definition of Account Based
Marketing
”Treating individual accounts as a
market in their own right”

Land and Expand
Marketing Has Not Historically Focused
Sufficiently on Customer Expansion

Different Tactics
Inbound vs. Outbound
You Need Outbound Tactics to Reach
Specific People at Target Accounts

What Does Sales Want From Marketing?
New relationships:
• Accurate and clean contacts
• Air cover (awareness)
• Access and coverage (e.g.,
engagement heat map)
• Meetings (where person
knows why they are meeting)
Insights:
• Research: org chart, budget,
initiatives, priorities
• Timeline: what’s gone to each
customer, their status, etc.
• Reasons to call
• Account specific content

Commonly Used ABM Tactics
Events Outbound Digital
• Owned events
• Partner events
• Third-party events
• Email
• Phone
• Social
• Direct mail /
dimensional mailer
• Insource /
outsource
• IP-based ads
• Retargeting
(persona-based)
• Social ads
• LinkedIn
• Web
personalization
Channels

Orchestration:
It’s not about any
one tactic; it’s the
MIX of touches that
drives success.
