It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing.” And with good reason! In the last decade (or less), the marketing environment has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme – with an occasional nod in the direction of the storefront, or traditional marketing (direct mail, print advertising, etc.)
One of the biggest challenges of Digital Marketing is the speed of which it has taken over the marketing organization, often in an ad hoc, uncoordinated fashion.
Demand Metric’s research has consistently shown that Digital Marketing has a very significant and positive impact on the organizations that are employing it when they do so by following best practices and processes in a coordinated, holistic approach.
In this Best Practices Report on Digital Marketing we will cover the Digital Marketing landscape in five distinct categories - Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Video Marketing and Public Relations

3. If you’re like most B2B marketers
today, you likely recognize account-
based marketing (ABM) has
become as an important element of
your effective go-to-market strategy.
INTRODUCTION
ITSMA, a research-based membership organization, which first pioneered
ABM more than 10 years ago, defines it as “more than a sales or marketing
approach; it is a collaborative strategy that engages sales, marketing,
subject matter experts and delivery professionals, as well as key executives
in the chosen client account to determine where and how to best meet
the client’s unique business challenges. With deep insight into the client’s
business and key goals, this collaborative team creates a well-orchestrated
marketing and sales campaign for a single account.”
SiriusDecisions, a global B2B research and advisory firm, defines ABM as
“the strategic approach marketers use to support a defined universe of
accounts, including strategic accounts and named accounts.”
Source: “State of Account-Based Marketing (ABM) Study” SiriusDecisions, 2015
“To break down walls between sales
and marketing, ABM is pretty close to
a silver bullet in that it aligns programs’
dollars and focus behind the accounts
that the sales teams cares about. So
there’s inherent buy-in.
That said, ABM is only as good as your
visibility into your highest potential
accounts and best-fit customer
segments, which gets clearer over time.
It’s most effective when deployed
as part of a comprehensive set of
targeting strategies.”

4. Focus on landing the big fish Reap the rewards of a laser focus
We think of ABM as a strategy and opportunity
to focus on an account to bear fruit. In a
nutshell, ABM is about marketing to accounts
rather than to contacts. The fact is, sales has
always sold to accounts. With ABM, marketing
is embracing that same approach.
While definitions may vary, one thing is clear:
ABM is truly where marketing and sales can
align around quality over quantity when it
comes to leads. Jon Miller, co-founder of
Marketo and more recently of Engagio, is
fond of comparing typical demand generation
to fishing with a net, whereas ABM is fishing
with a spear. In other words, you cast a
wide net with demand-generation programs
and then whittle down the catch until you’re
focusing on just the right “fish.” With ABM, you
focus from the get-go on bringing in only the
right “fish,” and that usually translates to the
most strategic accounts for your business. And
considering there are so few big watering holes
to fish from, this targeted approach makes
good business sense.
Marketers across industries are recognizing the value
of ABM. Consider what some of SiriusDecisions’
ABM clients are seeing for results:
Analyst firm SiriusDecisions has found that 92
percent of B2B marketers recognize the value of
ABM and see it as a “must have” business strategy.
More than 20 percent increase in
deal size
30 percent improvement in customer
health scores
More than 200 percent increase in
contribution to sales pipeline
More than 10X increase in trial

5. Ask the Experts
Q: How do you define ABM?
Q: How are account-based marketing and
inbound marketing related?
Gray: It’s just good marketing. Whether you
call it flipping the funnel or flattening the
funnel, it’s about aiming at a more well-
defined area of that funnel (i.e., your best
buyers) and treating those best buyers in a
much more personal way while focusing on
the account as a whole.
Karel: Account-based marketing is only as
strong as your understanding of who the right
accounts are. And I would bet a majority of
marketers don’t have a really great sense of
who their customers are.
Competitive dynamics keep changing,
customer needs keep changing, your offering
keeps expanding. So, I think that’s where
people put too many eggs in the ABM basket.
It’s very tempting.
Heinz: I think we’ve become so enamored with
the idea of inbound and having natural leads
and getting a lot of traffic. That’s all fine and
good, but, with email marketing, you have very
little if any control over quantity and quality.
So if there is a precise set of customers that
you really want to do business with, I highly
recommend not waiting for them to show up
on your blog, as there are more direct ways to
market to them that still provide value to them
at the early stages of engagement.

There are some marketers that go to the

$100 dollars against these top 100 accounts.
That’s where things go wrong. With all these
great things like predictive analytics and lead
scoring, with all that data, you can get a really

7. No wonder a growing number
of B2B marketers are embracing
ABM as part of their overall
marketing efforts.
First, ABM helps marketers better align with
the “purchase by committee” approach that
is increasingly the mainstay of today’s B2B
buying process. The B2B buying process is
a collaborative one. In addition to consulting
peers on social media, B2B buyers work with
colleagues inside their companies when making
purchase decisions.
According to IDC, the average deal today
involves more than eight decision makers, a
43 percent increase from three years ago. Our
own research at LinkedIn shows that anywhere
from 3.1 to 4.6 additional departments—such
as information technology or finance or human
resources—influence a B2B buying decision.
This chart shows the departments with the most
influence on buying decisions across vertical
industries. Information technology, finance, and
business development are the three departments
that wield the most influence on buying decisions.

Marketers—and salespeople—cannot
be satisfied with finding and directing
messages, content, and offers only at the
key decision makers. B2B marketers must
reach the broader buying group, which
means targeting their message at scale
to every part of a company that can wield
influence on the final buying decision.

9. Marketing Gets in Lockstep With Sales
An ABM initiative helps marketing better align
with their sales counterparts who are already
focused on accounts at the bottom of the funnel.
Simply put, by embracing ABM, marketers
become more aligned with what the sales team
is already doing.
As Dave Karel, Head of B2B Marketing at
LinkedIn, explains, ABM is pretty close to a silver
bullet when it comes to breaking down the walls
between sales and marketing. That’s because
it aligns program dollars and focus behind the
accounts that the sales team cares about. With
that comes inherent buy-in.
ANDREA AUSTIN
VP of Enterprise Sales,
InsideView
According to ITSMA, with ABM, marketing creates
an account-specific marketing plan and integrates
it with the sales plan. In other words, marketing
becomes part of the account team. When
marketing and sales are working from a similar
mindset—how to target and land accounts—
they can coalesce around a common goal.
ABM also helps marketing and sales each
work more effectively and avoid the chance of
mishandling an account. When all contacts are
handled within the larger context of an account
—usually managed by a single sales rep—there’s
less chance of marketing stepping on toes.

Ask the Experts
Q: How does good sales and marketing
alignment contribute to ABM success?
Austin: We find that leading companies
demonstrate strength in four key areas
that are foundational to successful ABM
initiative: communication skills, common
pipeline measurement, adherence to lead
quality, and data enrichment to drive
successful prospecting.
Eiler: In the recent market study we did, the
leading companies were those that exceeded
revenue goals, and they revealed patterns
and a more sophisticated approach to sales
and marketing alignment. Leaders have
better processes in place and are using more
advanced tools. Leaders are three times more
likely to characterize lead quality as excellent,
compared with laggards.
Austin: In our study, the leaders reported
better relationships between their sales and
marketing counterparts, which was aided by
better communication as a higher percentage
of sales leaders conduct weekly meetings
with the marketing team. Here at InsideView,
Tracy and I hold a weekly alignment meeting
we call #smarketing.
Eiler: Thirty-nine percent of sales and
marketing leaders in our study say that lack
of data on target accounts is one of their
biggest challenges. Companies that address
this issue head-on and populate their
accounts with accurate and complete data
are more successful with account-based
marketing.

9 STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE ABM PROGRAM
Position ABM as a Strategic Initiative
ABM is about driving growth through
high-visibility accounts. With so much riding on
your ABM efforts, it’s critical that the management
team recognizes the strategic importance of this
program and puts the necessary money behind
it. To succeed at ABM, your organization will
need to create, run, and analyze new programs.
It may even need to hire new talent and bring on
new tools. And that means you need the right
resources in terms of money and people.
Key elements in an ABM strategy:
Marketing and sales leadership should
collaborate to define this strategy and
communicate the plan and larger initiative
to the marketing and sales teams.

15. The overall goal of ABM is to focus on a select
number of accounts. Considering the needs of
your business, this list can be anywhere from
300 to 30,000. Regardless, it’s critical to get
the list right. Otherwise, you might miss big
revenue opportunities and waste valuable
time and resources.
Dave Cain, GVP of Global Marketing at Marketo
asserts, “with ABM, your marketing message is
based on the account you’re targeting.”
Where have we sold most
effectively in the past?
Which kinds of accounts have
proven most profitable over
time?
Which sub-industries do we
work with today?
What characteristics are most
predictive of sales success?
What attributes make for the
best fit with our product?
What traits should rule out an
account?
What kinds of accounts play
best to our unique strengths?
In which accounts do we
already have an advantage?
What accounts deliver the most
value (including strategic value)?
You should call upon all the data at your disposal to answer these questions,
including firmographics and intent and engagement data that you can
discover on LinkedIn, along with other sources. Account-based scoring can
also help here, making the list-building process more scientific and efficient.

While the focus of account-based marketing
is to land or expand an account, don’t forget
that you’re selling to a set of people within
each account. And getting a firm grasp on each
person’s role and responsibilities is critical to
effectively engaging them.
As Dave Rigotti of Bizible underscores,
“account-based marketing is not about the
companies that you’re going after. It’s the
personas involved. After defining your target
companies, you need to define people at those
companies that you care about.” In other words,
you want to understand who are the decision
makers and influencers. You need to understand
as much as you can about each of these people
on the buying committee. Think of it
as developing an extensive buyer persona.
Using LinkedIn makes it possible to surface
vital information about people in a select
account, such as their recent activities, likes,
and experiences. You can also get a sense of
relationships between the various stakeholders.
67% of marketers surveyed by SiriusDecisions
turn to sales for account insights. After all, if
your goal is to expand an existing relationship,
your sales team knows what’s happened with
the account and who has been involved from the
customer’s end to date.

Create Content to Drive Engagement
Across Target Accounts
The next step is to put all those insights to work.
You do that by developing compelling, engaging
content that delivers value to each person on
the account’s buying committee while also
addressing the key strategic business initiative
that binds these stakeholders.
In most cases, you and your sales colleagues
are trying to engage senior-level people. If
your organization has no relationship with the
company you’re targeting, marketing will need
to first build awareness and encourage ongoing
engagement.
Once people within the account are engaged
and ready to be in discussions with sales,
marketing needs to help the sales team continue
the conversation, so to speak. This end-to-end
engagement requires a carefully orchestrated set
of value propositions delivered via a variety of
messages and content.
In developing and distributing a variety of content, don’t overlook the power of social media.
According to LinkedIn’s research, social media factors in every stage of the purchase process, from
awareness to selection to implementation.
9 STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE ABM PROGRAM18
19. You can deliver that content in a range of
formats, just as you do for your “everyday”
marketing, including:
Articles
Reports
Blog posts
SlideShare
E-books
As with all good marketing, the key is to understand and
deliver the content formats your audience prefers. No matter
how you deliver the content, focus on showing that you
understand the account’s biggest challenges and goals. That
said, you don’t necessarily need to reinvent the wheel, so to
speak. Whenever possible, repurpose existing content by
tweaking it to address the specific account you’re targeting.

20. Your Marketing Message Must Reach
Vertically and Horizontally Across
Target Accounts
ABM challenges marketers to think differently
about their messages and content because it
must reach both far and wide within a single
account. Our research shows, depending on the
industry, 3.1 to 4.6 additional groups beyond
the main purchaser inside a company influence
the purchase process.
Step 6
9 STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE ABM PROGRAM
In other words, marketers and salespeople
must educate more than the primary decision
maker. You can reach all influencers throughout
the buying cycle by using a combination of
broad, early-stage tactics and more focused,
later-stage tactics.
At first you want to create broad awareness
across the company since you don’t know exactly
who’s going to influence a deal. Then you put
more resources behind tactics to more specifically
zero in on the key people within the account.
20
21. Once you have identified the key players within an
account, map the ecosystem to show who is engaged
and what problem(s) they care about. Be clear about the
differences and the messages you will share with each of
them. For example, while the CIO, CFO, and CMO may
all care about driving higher revenues for their company,
the CMO wants to do that using easy-to-use software,
the CIO wants that software to require little in the way of
installation and maintenance, and the CFO wants that
software to be affordable.

It’s a complex world, and buyers thirst for
knowledge. In LinkedIn research, we found that
“subject matter expert” and “valuable consulting,
education, and tools” rank high in what buyers
want from vendors. And it just so happens that
content is the perfect vehicle for delivering that
knowledge.
Remember: Getting someone in an account to

on interactions
Possible technologies and tools to call upon include:
In fact, LinkedIn research shows that certain
technologies can drive deeper relationships within
accounts and better alignment between marketing
and sales. One reason is that they make it easier for
marketing and sales to work together, get a common
view of the buyer’s journey, and agree on how to sharpen
their focus on the customer.
Whatever tools you use, be sure to work closely with
sales to ensure a coordinated approach and consistent
message across each account.

Measure Impact
What’s different in measuring the effectiveness
of ABM is how you will analyze it against your
standard campaigns. That’s because you’ll be
reviewing data across a subset of accounts rather
than across your entire database.
You should A/B test and optimize your ABM
program and campaigns just as you do your other
marketing initiatives. For example, you’ll need to
test different content that resonates with different
personas within the buying committee.

Revenue Cycle Waterfall
What is the value of marketing’s programs (typically
measured by pipeline creation using a multi-touch
attribution methodology)? What is the aggregate impact
on new pipeline and revenue, as measured by movement
through a revenue cycle waterfall?
How much time is the prospect spending with us, whether
on our website, attending a webinar, or at events, etc.?
What is the aggregate level of engagement for the account
(e.g., web traffic, online interaction, attendance at events,
and so on)?
Do we know the right people to target within the account?
Of all the accounts we’re targeting, how many are aware
of our company and brand? This can be determine by
traffic to your website and LinkedIn company page,
for example.
If you hold an event, for example, how many of the people
who show up at that event are the right people from the
right accounts?
Here are the five metrics that Jon Miller of
Engagio recommends:
“Digital empowers us to be really
targeted, resulting in hyper-relevant
content. So, the objective is to not to

instead on a percentage of yours that

That said, here’s the time to go big or go
home. This might seem counterintuitive, but
it’s better to start with a big list rather than a
small one. If you start small, you can’t run A/B
tests and fine-tune your focus. But if you start
with a large list of target accounts and apply
ABM best practices, you can measure the
impact of your campaigns and then segment
that big list.
From there, you can run A/B tests to see
how your campaigns perform against a more
targeted list and then narrow in on even
smaller lists. This approach lets you figure out
the most effective way to reach, engage, and
convert key stakeholders at each account —
the true measure of ABM success.
ITSMA outlines three tiers of account
based marketing:
1

3
Climbing the ABM Maturity Scale
Lowest level: Programmatic ABM: This software-centric
approach automates ABM-inspired tactics across
hundreds or even thousands of identified accounts.
Programmatic ABM is much less resource intensive for
the marketing organization and can provide coverage far
beyond Strategic ABM or ABM Lite.
Mid level: ABM Lite: This one-to-few model is often
focused on a wider group of strategic accounts or the
next tier down of accounts that share similar business
attributes, challenges, and initiatives. This level is less
resource intensive and calls upon technology even
more to help automate the account insight process,
campaign execution, and measurement.
Top level: Strategic ABM: This is usually reserved
for strategic accounts and executed on a one-to-one
basis. Strategic ABM is spearheaded by a dedicated
– often senior-level – marketer who works with one
or a few key account teams on the sales side and
creates customized marketing plans and programs
as an integral part of the overall account plan. This
approach requires a combination of technology and
human involvement.
“Don’t use vanity or activity
metrics such as number of
impressions and number of
people who registered for
an event. Don’t use volume-
based metrics, such as ‘We
ran five campaigns’ or ‘We
pushed our three press
releases.’ You need to
measure ABM by focusing
on quality, not quantity. And
avoid ‘cost-per’ metrics; when
you frame marketing in terms
of cost you’re telling the world
you’re a cost center.”

Q: How does your company
approach ABM?
Gosling: We operate at a fairly narrow
end of account-based marketing. If you
look at it as a pyramid, at the top are
large accounts and strategic pursuits
and they’re very high touch and very
customized. The second layer is usually
served by field marketing or by regions
with vertical-driven, named account
marketing that is mass customized. For
highly customized accounts, we run
bespoke programs that range from an
awareness campaigns, social media
campaigns, and digital advertising to
in-person events, billboards, and anything
that helps us get the right message to the
right individuals. Here we use LinkedIn
Sponsored Content quite extensively.
Gray: I really do think it’s the happy medium
between the two, which is why it can be hard,
especially for marketers. Most of the time,
marketing is not customer facing frankly --
unless they’re field or event marketing.
But that has to change under an ABM model.
You have to walk into a marketing department
and be able to ask, What’s going on right now
over at Pepsi that we need to be responding
to? And then you have a good answer to
that question.
Likewise in sales, they have to be able to
answer traditional marketing questions, like
what content are we going to use? What’s our
next event? What’s our next offer? How are
we engaging this brand on multiple different
levels? So, I think it really does challenge
both groups to think like the other and to get
rid of all of the bad habits they have.

With LinkedIn Account Targeting,
you can engage the accounts that
matter most to your business by
accurately targeting influencers
and delivering relevant content that
translates into meaningful results.
Run Effective Account-Based Marketing
Campaigns on the LinkedIn Platform
Here’s how it works. The LinkedIn platform
cross-references your target list of accounts
against the more than 8 million Company
Pages in the LinkedIn ecosystem and creates
an account target segment based on the
match. You tailor your LinkedIn Sponsored
Updates and LinkedIn Sponsored InMail
campaigns to a list of top-priority accounts.
Then you layer in profile-based targeting,
such as job function or seniority, to put
your content in front of the right people in a
particular organization.
Essentially, you can run targeted campaigns
on a large scale, focusing on people at up
to 30,000 companies at once. The result?
You can seamlessly engage influencers and
decision makers across your key accounts.

Native advertising such as a LinkedIn
Sponsored Content is unobtrusive in nature:
It appears in the content stream that your
prospects are already consuming. In other
words, it’s focused on attracting attention by
providing content in the context of the user’s
experience.
Sponsored Content, LinkedIn’s core native
advertising solution is different from other
companies’ native ads because it is:
Sponsored InMail has evolved into an
impactful, timely and highly personalized
product. For ABM it’s a silver bullet to drive
awareness among audiences that are otherwise
hard or impossible to reach.
Directly integrated in the LinkedIn
members’ feed, allowing you to
target content based on specific job
titles, LinkedIn group membership,
professional connections, and more
Sponsored InMails are delivered in
real-time to your target audience
only when they are engaged
on LinkedIn, which means your
message is timely.

Q: Why do you think LinkedIn works
well for account-based marketers?
Heinz: There is no fresher source of lists
than LinkedIn. If you go to a typical list
vendor, they’ve built those lists x days, x
weeks, x months, x years ago. Your best
prospects are updating their LinkedIn
profiles in real time.
They’re telling you what their job is,
they’re describing their job in their profile.
If you’re saying I want to go after these
companies, and I want people with
these roles and these levels, there’s no
better source than LinkedIn. And I don’t
mean this to be a commercial, but Sales
Navigator has become so valuable for
target account marketers and target
account sellers. It’s foundational.
Chernov: I look at account-based marketing
as zero waste marketing. The idea of inbound
or contact marketing—the notion that the
larger your total addressable market is
the more valuable that approach—is, by
definition, inefficient.
You get a lot of false positives, you get a lot
of forms filled, and there are people that are
totally the wrong buyer, right? You write an
e-book on how sales is like Game of Thrones
and you get the fans and they are never going
to buy your product.

Ask the Expert
Q: How can ABM be used for customer
retention marketing?
Q: In the simplest terms, how would you
define ABM?
I think that one of the biggest problems I see
in marketing departments today is the fact that
marketers are compensated and measured
primarily only on new business. As a result,
the vast majority of the marketing budget is to
provide new business programs.
If you look at most companies, you know,
especially anybody that has a recurring revenue
model, a vast majority of actual revenue comes
from the current customers, both in terms of
renewal and expansion. And yet all that revenue
is sort of left to the customers’ success team
without really any support from marketing—
at least in terms of demand generation and
program budget.
So, I think that’s got to change and it does
start with changing how we measure and
compensate the marketing department.
I often say, “ABM is a strategic approach
for sales and marketing to use personalized
interactions at named accounts to deepen
—to open new doors and deepen existing
relationships.” But there are key points to that
definition.
It’s a strategic approach because ABM is not
a campaign. It’s not like an initiative for this
month. It is a way of thinking about how you
drive your business.
It’s strategic across sales and marketing.
Sales has to be as involved as the marketing
department to make it work.
It’s personalized, so it’s about using account-
level insight to make sure that each interaction
is relevant and resonant, and then it’s about
landing and expanding relationships.
And lastly, ABM is not transactionable. It’s
about landing and expanding relationships.
