ABM in a nutshell

Account-based marketing. It’s a term that’s been bandied around for a few years but ABM is now being adopted on a much larger scale. It is a highly targeted and real-time marketing technique that offers new possibilities. The key to successful ABM is to engage customers in a highly personalised way, treating them as a market of one. This is a shift from broadcast marketing of “Let me tell you why I’m great”, to relationship marketing of “Let me explain how I can help you solve your problems”. And requires a shift in marketing approach, as the customers’ mantra is “It’s not about you, it’s about me!”. Our ‘Insight to Advisor’ model starts with Insight for this very reason.
