Simply put, account-based marketing (“ABM”) is a strategic B2B marketing approach that targets a market consisting of a single company, a division of a company, and / or an individual within a company. It stands in contrast to the more generalist B2B marketing approaches providing much more targeted tactics (e.g., named companies, firmographics, and demographics vs. general company profiles, individual names and emails vs. general role-based personas and broad email lists, individualized value propositions vs. general benefit statements, etc.).
