Elizabeth Ronco at Madison Logic shares why #GTM teams do not see maximum revenue performance from ABM and only get limited returns on their ABM tech investment. She talks about: ❌ How teams are ineffectively identifying and prioritizing the right accounts ❌ Why teams struggle with engaging VPs and the C-suite, which is what’s needed to drive stage progression. ❌ How teams are failing to get customer-centric and how they are not using data and account intelligence to guide content, messaging, and interactions. ❌ The need to go beyond personalization and become personal and how we should come to each interaction with a point of view about the prospects’ businesses. ❌ How teams are failing to optimize for velocity, increased ACV, and stronger ARR, GRR, and NRR growth as they are looking to ABM to fix the pipeline vs. fixing the experiences teams are delivering across the buyers’ journey and customer lifecycle.

Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) is a useful (and necessary) tool for credit distribution across marketing channels, but as Ron Jacobson shared on the latest Humans of Martech podcast, it has critical gaps in its capabilities as the ONLY measurement solution you leverage. While MTA helps marketers understand what happened, it doesn’t explain why something happened. This is where the need for a broader measurement approach becomes essential. Key takeaways from the podcast: MTA excels at credit allocation: It’s great for tracking which touchpoints contributed to a conversion, helping marketers assign value across different channels. MTA doesn’t establish causality: While it provides insights into what happened, it cannot explain why those results occurred, making it insufficient on its own for deeper optimization. Understanding ‘why’ requires more: Marketers need to pair MTA with methodologies like testing or Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) to uncover the real drivers of performance and make more informed media investment decisions. Causality is critical for growth: If we only look at MTA, we risk optimizing for what gets credit, not what drives real, incremental results. By layering MTA with causal methods, marketers can move beyond credit distribution and start making smarter, data-driven decisions. Catch the full episode below.

Is your ABM strategy truly client-centric? This question was at the heart of one of the fireside discussions at Rethink ABM. During 'Breaking the Account-Based Inertia', Dr. Charles Doyle, a seasoned CMO, and Rhiannon Blackwell, ABM Leader at PwC, explored this topic with Andrew Rogerson, Head of Professional Services at Momentum ITSMA. The thought-provoking dialogue revealed that ABM is often misunderstood and misused, falling short of its client-centric promise. Instead, ABM should serve as an integration agent, leveraging deep understanding and empathy to build trust and forge lasting client relationships. We need a fresh perspective on ABM. One that allows your business to build and scale with the perspective of the client. One that prioritizes authenticity, trust, and client focus. Let’s reframe ABM to truly reflect these values. What are your thoughts on redefining ABM? Share your insights in the comments below. 👇 #ABM #ClientCentric #MarketingInnovation #CustomerSuccess #RethinkABM2024

AI is revolutionizing the way we approach B2B marketing strategies and ABM, offering the potential to scale and personalize content like never before. However, one thing is vastly clear: AI platforms and content require a human touch.  Elizabeth Ronco, SVP of Product at Madison Logic, explains that while AI can enhance personalization strategies, the guidance must come from how we as marketers and brand builders want to provide the message and the story of the market.    🤝 That means brands will need human insight to get the most out of their AI tools. These combined efforts will allow businesses to use AI to better understand buyers and customers, engage with them in more personalized ways, and optimize their ABM campaigns for maximum results. #genai #abm #marketing #b2b

In an ever-changing landscape, CMOs are pioneering cross-functional relationships to enhance product, service, and sales. But what's the key to effective leadership in these relationships? To excel in GTM strategies and drive growth, CMOs should focus on creating meaningful interactions that go beyond traditional lead generation. Marketing should be seen as a facilitator for conversations and relationship-building with your sales team! Rather than targeting individuals, embrace a multi-channel approach that encourages engagement across accounts. This approach fosters deeper discussions about solving customer problems, helping sales teams build stronger relationships. Measuring the impact of these efforts will lead to more effective GTM performance and growth.
