The scalability of Account-Based Marketing (ABM) means you can practice this strategy on a budget of nearly any size. THE key tenet of ABM espouses narrowing focus to market more effectively to target accounts, which means you can weave it into your marketing efforts even with a relatively small budget and see the positive return on investment. Then with experience (and growing confidence!), you can optimize and establish a cohesive strategy, set measurable goals appropriate to your budget, and grow the footprint of your ABM efforts. In this webinar hosted by Demandbase and Brainrider, we dive into realistic game plans for small, medium and large ABM budgets. Experienced B2B marketer guest speakers will share real-life examples that showcase their foray into ABM, with special emphasis on the budgeting mistakes and successes they experienced along the way. So whether you’re dipping a toe into the ABM waters or turning the firehose on full blast, we invite you to join us for this unique behind-the-scenes conversation that will provide useful guidance as you think about your own resource allocations for ABM planning in 2019 and beyond.
