The Problem
Enterprise B2B organizations investing in account-based marketing strategies often struggle to execute coordinated campaigns across multiple channels and stakeholders. Traditional marketing approaches treat all leads equally, failing to recognize that enterprise deals involve multiple decision-makers within target accounts who require personalized engagement. Marketing and sales teams operate in silos, with no shared visibility into account-level engagement or coordinated outreach strategies. Without proper ABM infrastructure, organizations waste resources on accounts unlikely to convert while under-investing in high-potential opportunities.
The Solution
Marketo Engage's native ABM capabilities enable organizations to implement sophisticated account-based strategies with coordinated execution across channels. The platform aggregates individual engagement data at the account level, providing visibility into which target accounts are showing buying signals. Marketers create named account lists based on ideal customer profiles, then design personalized campaigns targeting specific accounts with relevant messaging. The platform's web personalization capabilities deliver customized website experiences for visitors from target accounts, while integration with advertising platforms enables account-targeted display and social campaigns. Account insights dashboards provide marketing and sales teams with shared visibility into engagement trends, key contacts, and pipeline progression for each target account.
