Technology in today’s world is always changing. It seems like everyone was just buzzing about marketing automation, and now technology has given you the power to create Account Based Marketing (ABM) so that you can focus on sales development, customer success, and yes, plenty of marketing.
If you feel a little overwhelmed by all of these changes, you’re not alone.
Last week, Maneeza and I had the pleasure of presenting for the Boston Marketo User Group (BMUG) during two days of Everything ABM. And it was awesome! Continue reading →
By its namesake, Fuzzy Logic Matching sounds pretty, well… unreliable. But what’s in a name? A data pairing algorithm by any other name would be as sweet! Shakespeare quotes aside, Fuzzy Logic Matching can (and probably should) be one of your best friends when you’re ready to identify your target list as part of your Account Based Marketing (ABM) efforts. Here’s why. Continue reading →
Back in 2009, I started research for a book called “Precision Marketing.” And it was during this pursuit of knowledge that I came across another book that would become paramount not only in the project I was working on at the time, but my own personal career as a marketer. It was a book called “Spanning Silos.” Continue reading →
Content marketing is transforming the world of B2B marketing like never before, allowing marketers to initiate conversations and develop relationships earlier in the buying process. Today’s content marketing meets content selling, and, to put it frankly, it’s pretty awesome. Continue reading →
Whether your focus is B2B, B2C or P2P, it boils down to this: we talk to people.

Marketing was lost and it wasn’t hard to understand why–up until this point we had only spoken about our brand, our brand, our brand, and did we forget to mention our brand? Getting your logo out there whether plastered on the walls of a stadium, falling from the mouth of a celebrity, coyly featured on the set of a sitcom, or, the Holy Grail–movie placement–was all that seemed to matter.

When’s the last time you practiced hitting a target? It’s no secret that the more you repeat the same motion over and over and over again, the better you become at that particular skill–just ask any NBA, NFL or MLB player.

Account Based Marketing (ABM) seems to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue lately. Much like Content Marketing was the proverbial “It Girl” 5 years ago, ABM (again like content marketing) isn’t a new thing, rather it’s how we as marketers are choosing to approach this topic that is making it buzzworthy.
