Account Based Marketing

Locked on like a sniper;

Laser focused marketing

Start those conversations

Aim for the head

Account Based Marketing (ABM) targets key strategic decision makers with highly tailored content. Designed to bypass the gatekeeper and get your message in front of the right person.

We’ll design a unique ABM campaign that’s tailored specifically to the contacts you want to reach.

Here’s how it works

How ABM works

1. Flip the funnel

Consider your marketing funnel – traditionally you start wide (reaching as many people as possible), then as you move through the funnel, you reach less and less people, but they’re warmer to your business.

ABM flips this on its head. You start at the bottom of the funnel, introducing your business to decision makers and nurturing them from there.

2. Stand out from the crowd

Most ABM campaigns start out with a form of direct mail. 

Ranging from a letter through to custom LEGO sets and video, there are no limits to what you can do with ABM. Your campaign simply needs to create interest and intrigue, opening the door to further conversations.

3. Customised landing pages

All mail will link to a custom landing page, designed specifically for that key contact. 

This proves your intent, making the experience significantly more personal to the recipient. Including custom branding & messaging is the cherry on top here.

4. Tailored follow up

Following the initial contact, we follow up with a series of one-to-one tactics, including social connections, emails and phone calls (if they haven’t contacted us already!).

This is your opportunity to take the conversation to the next level.

ABM is a strategic approach where marketing and sales teams work together to target specific high-value accounts with personalised campaigns, focusing on the needs and characteristics of each account. This allows you to deliver your comms and marketing materials directly to decision makers of companies you'd like to work with.

Unlike traditional marketing, which targets a broad audience, ABM focuses on individual high-value accounts with tailored messages and strategies, aiming for deeper engagement and higher conversion rates.

Identify and select target accounts by analysing factors like company size, industry, revenue, and fit with your product or service. Use data and insights to prioritise accounts that offer the most potential value. ABM should target heads of team, key stakeholders or CEOs/owners.

Common ABM tools include customer relationship management (CRM) systems, marketing automation platforms, account-based advertising solutions, and analytics tools for tracking and managing campaigns. It's incredibly important that you know exactly when/if your message has been received/read, as this allows your sales team to follow up ASAP.

Measure ABM success by tracking metrics such as engagement levels, account progression through the sales funnel, conversion rates, and the overall ROI from targeted accounts.
