They discuss next steps like measuring content and pitch engagement.

New Priorities for ABM: Benchmarks and Best Practices for 2021Demandbase
1) The document summarizes key findings from an ITSMA and ABMLA webcast on new priorities and best practices for ABM in 2021.
2) Most ABM programs today incorporate one-to-one, one-to-few, and one-to-many approaches, though many still focus on just one type.
3) Top challenges for ABM programs include measuring results, developing customizable campaigns at scale, and educating sales on ABM's value.
This document summarizes a webinar about ABM best practices. The webinar included an introduction, discussion of an ABM benchmark report, and an expert panel on ABM. The benchmark report found that over 25% of marketing budgets are now spent on ABM on average. Companies with ABM programs for over 3 years achieved significantly higher ROI than others. While ABM adoption is growing, most programs are still early-stage, focusing on basics like data and customizing campaigns. Moving forward, winning companies will invest more in personalized approaches and blend different ABM types for breadth and depth. The expert panel discussed challenges implementing ABM strategies.
This document outlines an agenda for a presentation on Account-Based Marketing (ABM). It lists several All-Star customers and speakers who will share their experiences with ABM. It then provides an overview of the ABM journeys of Panasonic and Citrix, describing how they started with ABM, their goals and challenges, and their visions for the future. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between different teams like brand, demand, and sales for ABM success.
ITSMA and ABM Leadership Alliance Leadership Survey: Driving Growth with Thre...ITSMA
The recent rise of Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is nothing short of remarkable. From a special initiative that a handful of B2B pioneers developed to drive growth with top accounts in the early 2000s, ABM is now a mainstream strategy that companies are implementing with hundreds or even thousands of accounts with a wide range of programs and objectives.
The 2017 ABM Benchmark Study conducted by ITSMA and the ABM Leadership Alliance highlights the main reason for such dramatic growth: ABM works! In fact, as this research report shows, a full 87% of marketers implementing ABM say that it provides higher ROI than any other type of marketing. Similarly, strong majorities say that ABM drives improvement in the “Three R’s” of strategic marketing: Reputation, Relationships, and Revenue.
This report provides an essential review of the current state of play with ABM in 2017, with data and insight on such issues as budgets and staffing, account selection, collaboration with sales, tools and technology, campaign tactics, programmatic challenges, and business benefits.
In particular, the report explores the three distinct types of ABM that have emerged in recent years: One-to-One, One-to-Few, and One-to-Many. Most companies are currently engaged in just one of these types, but a growing number are experimenting with two of them, and many more plan to move to a blended strategy over the next few years. The research underscores the key challenges marketers are facing and the specific ways they are addressing each type of ABM.
