The Marketer’s Roadmap To Mature Omnichannel Account-Based Experiences

whitePaper | June 10, 2022

Responsive buyer experiences and relevant content across channels have always been the top criteria for mature, highperforming, omnichannel account-based orchestrations. But much of today’s conversation revolves around linear, top-down campaigns, where the target account is placed in a marketing or sales play, operating within a siloed platform throughout the buyer’s journey. The result is often antithetical to the desired buyer “experience.” Operating without the necessary data management, intent, prediction, and consistent personalization, these platforms cannot deliver high-performing orchestration simply by slapping a new name on the same old ABM technology. In a rush to accelerate the delivery of “account-based experiences” (ABX), the platforms that support it have become a critical bottleneck, creating yet another siloed system that adds to the complexity and undermines the outcomes it is intended to improve.

With such a massive reach, marketers often result to generic assets to hopefully cover everyone’s interests, whether it’s an up-and-coming intern or a seasoned CMO. But in a channel as loud, crowded and impersonal as social, blanket-type content won’t suffice.

whitePaper | December 23, 2022

Selling or marketing to someone you have limited insights on is like trying to hit a piñata blindfolded. You have a general idea of where it is, but without knowing its exact whereabouts, you’re taking swings in the dark, and more often than not—you’ll miss your target. Gaps in buyer insights—pain points, account needs, and goals—are a huge issue for accountbased marketing (ABM) teams looking to deepen relationships with existing customers and target high-value prospects. Personalization lives at the core of ABM, and yet, personalization at scale toward target accounts (35 percent) and developing targeted content for accounts and personas (30 percent) are in the top five ABM challenges, according to Demand Gen Report.
