Bet on Bingeing: Why Content Consumption is the Key to Better Conversion Demandbase
Clicks, conversions and downloads only tell part of the story about how engaged your prospects are.

Today’s B2B buyer is digitally-driven, socially connected and has unlimited access to information. Marketing recognizes this shift, but Sales needs to be on board too.

Eight Keys for Integrating ABM with Your Sales Team’s Existing Target Account...Demandbase
ABM can’t exist and succeed separate from your sales department. Whereas traditional marketing strategies and tactics can be executed without sales being involved, successful ABM requires tight coordination to achieve optimal results. Matt Heinz outlines eight essential elements for a successful integration of ABM with your sales team’s target account program.
According to the 2016 State of ABM by SiriusDecisions, the number one goal for ABM in 2016 is increasing revenue. Goals are only effective when they are measurable, so account-based marketers need to understand how to measure their ABM efforts in terms of revenue. Capturing the account-based nuance in your revenue measurement is essential to scaling and proving the value of ABM. In this session, I will discuss how ABM measurement differs from demand gen measurement – from measuring revenue on an account-basis, to engagement and attribution.
Next Level ABM: Delivering the RIGHT LeadsDemandbase
It is harder than ever to tell the junk leads from the gems.
Lead generation strategies like online advertising weren’t originally built to address the needs of B2B marketers. However, B2B marketers are now turning to Account-Based Marketing in order to identify, target, and engage the companies that are most likely to buy.
ABM is a powerful strategy for B2B marketers, but at the end of the day, sales teams need to reach actual buyers. How can marketers identify and deliver decision makers at accounts with a real potential to turn into revenue?
Attend this one-hour webinar to learn how to:
-Attract the accounts that your sales team values most
-Deliver leads to your sales team from target accounts that are showing buying signals
-Prove the ROI of your advertising campaigns from first touch to close
With over 3,700 marketing technologies to choose from and increasing pressure to prove ROI. B2B marketers have more opportunity, but less time, than ever before. In this session, Delphine Cherewick will share how implementing an agile marketing model empowers B2B marketers to leverage the right technology, innovate on strategy and optimize new digital programs.
How to Fuel Your Content Strategy with ABMDemandbase
The process of account-based marketing (ABM) starts with a question of “who?” – i.e., which accounts need to be reached? – then shifts to a question of “what?” What do you need to say to reach these accounts? The best way to answer this question is through targeted content. However, the content itself isn’t enough – the content needs to be delivered in a targeted content experience in order to penetrate all levels of the account. Join Uberflip’s CEO and Co-founder, Yoav Schwartz, for a tactical session on how to leverage content and build a remarkable content experience for successful account-based marketing.
ABM is making it easier to understand which companies to target while MA platforms are bringing a level of automation to the nurturing process. However, what must still happen in between targeting and nurture is positive demand generation. This session shares best practices from the world’s best demand marketers.

ABM in a Downturn_ Account Intelligence to Do More with Less (Demandbase).pptxDemandbase
Prior to the current economic downturn, B2B companies turned to account-based marketing and Smarter GTM™ as a better way to do things.
These forward thinking companies were looking to be better informed, more targeted and more efficient and effective. Smarter GTM™ and ABM was viewed as the modern approach — a best practice to drive growth, yet still seen as a “nice to have” by many.
But in today’s world — a world that has been shaken by a global pandemic, labour shortages, inflation, war, and economic uncertainty — organisations’ resources have been stretched and depleted. ABM is no longer the fastest path to growth, but essential for survival.
In this session Jon Miller — CMO at Demandbase and cofounder of Marketo and Engagio — will show why ABM powered by Account Intelligence is the key to work smarter, not harder, and he’ll share practical ABM tips and best practices based on Demandbase’s own secret sauce.

Leverage intent data to improve the efficiency and effectiveness
Use orchestration to your advantage (less manual, mundane tasks = more time)
Stop spamming and get relevant with Smarter GTMDemandbase
Spam isn’t just unwanted email. It’s any uninformed, irrelevant interaction with your customers and potential buyers. It wastes your time and money and annoys the buyers you were hoping to impress.
Focusing on the customer buying experience is more important than ever. In today’s information age, buyers have more and more power over sellers. As a result, there’s an increased demand for personalised, relevant experiences.
In this webinar, we shall provide real-life examples of how Sales & Marketing teams are delivering personal, relevant and timely messages to their buyers.
For too many years marketing and sales have operated in silos...while in some forward thinking companies, the two organizations work together to drive new opportunity development and revenue. This session will explore the lessons learned in that beautiful dance that can occur when marketing and sales work together...to drive new opportunity development, account expansion and customer satisfaction.
No, this is not a conversation about MQLs and SQLs. Instead we will focus on a framework that allows the two organizations to drive company success together.
Videos are more engaging, more memorable, and more popular than any other type of content out there. That’s why it’s estimated that 82% of consumer traffic will come from videos by 2025.
And with videos evolving from landscape to portrait and experts promoting shorter clips, one thing remains constant – our brains LOVE videos.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.
It's another new era of digital and marketers are faced with making big bets on their digital strategy. If you are looking at modernizing your tech stack to support your digital evolution, there are a few can't miss (often overlooked) areas that should be part of every conversation. We'll cover setting your vision, avoiding siloes, adding a democratized approach to data strategy, localization, creating critical governance requirements and more. Attendees will walk away with actions they can take into initiatives they are running today and consider for the future.
The session includes a brief history of the evolution of search before diving into the roles technology, content, and links play in developing a powerful SEO strategy in a world of Generative AI and social search. Discover how to optimize for TikTok searches, Google's Gemini, and Search Generative Experience while developing a powerful arsenal of tools and templates to help maximize the effectiveness of your SEO initiatives.

Hello everyone and welcome to Metrics, Measurement, and KPIs, the fifth and last day of our week-long High Performance ABM webinar series. I am John Dering, Director of ABM Technology and Strategy at Demandbase, and I am joined today by Stephanie Robotham, Head of Corporate Marketing at Optimizely.
As you know, this entire week, we have been talking about all things ABM. We covered everything ranging from ABM basics and fundamentals to how to create a target account list.
And if you are looking back at the sessions, kicking yourself for not making one, don’t worry. Next week we are going to send you access to the slides and on-demand recordings from the entire week. And it doesn’t stop after today. We are constantly thinking of new ways to make ABM easier and more accessible.
So make sure you follow along with us on Twitter at @Demandbase and join the conversation using the hashtag #ABMwebseries.
You have joined today using your computer or your telephone.
All phone lines will be muted during this session, but if you have a question…
We will have a Q&A session at the end of the presentation, so be sure to submit your questions in the Q&A tab on the left-hand side of the webinar console.
We often don’t have time to address all questions, so we will follow up after the session if we don’t get to you.
With that, I’d like to introduce you to my co-presenter Stephanie Robotham.
Stephanie Robotham is the VP of Corporate Marketing at Optimizely. Prior to joining Optimizely, Stephanie spent 10 years at Salesforce in a variety of roles in EMEA and the USA. She is now privileged to be building and leading a world class global marketing team at Optimizely focused on optimization and personalization, account based marketing, online and interactive marketing, demand generation, and so many more exciting marketing disciplines.
Stephanie, thank you for joining us today. Now let’s get into the content.
Today’s session is going to dig into a number of questions that we’ve seen crop over over the past few years. As marketers get more savvy about Account-Based Marketing, they concentrate more and more on the ability to track and measure their strategy.
Today, we’ll cover how to determine your goals, how to create and track a target account list, how to measure the success of those accounts, as well as the performance of your programs and strategy. Finally we’ll also talk about the ways that you can help enable your sales team with timely and useful data.
First and foremost, you need to set goals for your ABM strategy.
In order to do that, you’ll need to get buy-in and input from the right set of stakeholders in your company. In most cases, this will involve at least Sales, Marketing, and Finance.
Finance really kicks off this process, as they have insight into the long-term plan for the company. If you need to hit a certain revenue number a quarter or two quarters or a year down the road, that requires a certain volume of opportunities generated this quarter, and the next and the next. By starting with a fixed desired outcome (revenue), you can build a model that ensures you predictably hit those numbers.
Once Finance has built the plan and worked backwards to arrive at the volume of pipeline required to hit future numbers, the Sales and Marketing teams need to agree on achievable ways to impact that goal.
One key component of successfully aligned goals is that both Sales and Marketing are focused on the same thing. While your Marketing team is certainly going to look at things like MQL’s, registrant numbers, even click-through rates, you want to encourage them to think of those metrics as leading indicators of more impactful things like pipeline. And ideally you take that encouragement a step further by making that their true singular focus. You can even take that a step further and set up your bonus structure so that your Marketing team is focused on pipeline, rather than leads.
Stephanie, maybe you can weigh in on the ways that your team thinks about setting goals for their programs?
As you are setting up your goals, you obviously also want to think about how to leverage the data that you have currently in order to understand where you are today compared to where you need to be tomorrow.
Work with operations in order to understand which programs and channels are working, and how they are contributing to opportunities today. From there, you can start to prioritize different areas of focus, and set up an integrated strategy designed to impact those goals.
In many cases, you are going to find that in order to see progress, your marketing and sales organizations are going to need to get laser-focused on high-value accounts that are likely to convert at high rates.
In order to dig into this, I’m going to turn to Stephanie, who can give her take on Optimizely’s experience with setting up their target account list.
[I believe that Stephanie had a specific talk track she wanted to share here about Optimizely’s experience with building their target account list…] John, I think you are familiar with this slide...
Once you’ve built and massaged your list, there are a few tips and tricks that we’ve picked up through our own experience that will help you manage that list.
This might seem a little bit obvious, but it is important to be able to identify your accounts within your CRM and Marketing Automation System. Why? Couple of reasons: first, you are able to report on the performance of those accounts compared to your non-targets. Second, you can use that target account designation as a way to prioritize follow-up for your sales team.
You also want to start tracking all of the Marketing and Sales touches that hit those target accounts. This will enable you to build out the full buyer experience.
As you continue to iterate on that initial list, there are a few different ways that you can measure the success of the list itself.
Ultimately you are trying to figure out whether this is the right target account list to help you meet your business goals. Set expectations around how much of your pipeline is going to come from this list, knowing that these accounts should be the ones that are converting at the highest rates. There isn’t necessarily a hard number on how much of your funnel should be filled with target accounts, but understand that if you have too too many from outside of it, you might consider an audit to understand why.
Beyond the list itself, of course you want to measure the performance of your programs and overall strategy.
Some of these metrics are more familiar than others, but what you are trying to do is build out a reliable funnel that will help you forecast the performance of your programs.
If we start at the top, you might think about how many total inquiries are generated, basically the raw number of hand raises that you pulled in. From there, you can clean out the dupes and land at the number of contacts and accounts involved in the campaign. You can tease that apart to look at how many of those are on your target account list, or potentially how many are already customers.
As you move lower into the funnel, you can tie your marketing efforts more explicitly to business outcomes. You can look at the number of MQL’s, SAL’s and pipeline attributed to your campaign, and follow those through to closed/won deals. By keeping these funnel metrics at the forefront, you can ensure that your team is focused on the quality of their inquiries, rather than just the quantity.
Don’t forget that your efforts should reach across your entire sales organization. While you may start off by piloting one or two reps, by the time you launch a holistic ABM program, you are going to want to check on the distribution of the accounts across the team. Again, as these are your highest quality accounts, you want to be sure that you are feeding reps and setting opportunity generation expectations based on that distribution.
In that vein, I’d like to spend a little bit of time talking about how to enable your sales team in order to really maximize the performance of your programs.
As we already touched on, a good first step is to look carefully at which individuals in your organization are benefiting from any given campaign. By linking individual sales reps or teams to the contacts and accounts that are a part of a campaign, you develop a sense of accountability. You aren’t giving them a generic list of leads; you are giving them a personalized list of their accounts that are being impacted by a program.
For each campaign you run, you can build out an enablement package with reports broken down by rep, follow-up assets, and email templates. The easier and more explicit your ask of sales, the more likely it will get done.
Finally you want to give sales the opportunity to get involved with your efforts. Take advantage of their knowledge of what it’s like out in the field, and incorporate their feedback and ideas into your future programs. As an added bonus, it reinforces the trust that you built up by building your target accounts list to begin with.
We’ve covered a lot of content today, so before we open it up for Q&A, I want to go over a couple of the key takeaways.
First, set realistic goals in partnership with Sales and Finance.
Keep that spirit of collaboration going as you build out and iterate on your target accounts list.
Take a look at how that list impacts your sales funnel in order to determine whether it needs additional tweaking.
Obviously keep your goals front of mind and measure your performance against them.
Finally, be sure that you bring and keep sales in the fold as you plan and execute your ABM strategy.
Now we’re going to open it up to Q&A. As a reminder, you can still enter your questions in the Q&A tab on the left side of your screen.
We have an attendee who would like to know…
