What is account-based marketing (ABM)?

Account-based marketing is targeted approach in B2B marketing that focuses on identifying and engaging high-value accounts with personalized campaigns to maximize impact and ROI.

Think of it as flipping your funnel upside down. Instead of casting a wide net and qualifying leads later, you identify your dream accounts first, then run campaigns designed specifically for them.

Companies using ABM see 38% higher win rates, 91% larger deals, and 24% faster revenue growth – which is why 87% of B2B marketers say ABM delivers better ROI than anything else they do.

Why is it so important? Well, according to McKinsey, 71% of buyers expect personalized experiences, and 76% get frustrated when they don’t get them.

Put simply: a marketing strategy that prioritizes personalization is now essential for meeting these expectations and driving results. It’s no longer enough to deliver generic, run-of-the-mill experiences.

Unified — marketing aligning sales and marketing teams around shared goals and strategies — is a core principle of ABM and critical for its success.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything from ABM basics to tactical plays you can run right now.

What is Account-Based Marketing?

ABM means focusing your sales and marketing firepower on a specific set of target accounts. Instead of generating thousands of leads, you treat each account like its own market, creating campaigns tailored to their challenges, buying stage, and decision-makers.

ABM requires three shifts in how you think:

• Pick accounts first, then find the people: Identify your ideal accounts, then engage the decision-makers within them.
• Get marketing and sales teams on the same page: Align marketing and align sales efforts so both teams work from the same account list with shared goals and metrics.
• Personalize everything: Every ad, email, landing page, and sales conversation is customized for each account.

Forming a dedicated account team for each target account ensures that marketing and sales teams collaborate closely, improving engagement and ABM success.

Vincent Plassard, Growth Lead at Userled explains: “At its core, ABM is about strategically segmenting and tiering your accounts from 1:1 to 1:many. You then build customized programs to engage each tier. It all comes down to smart audience segmentation.”

The Three ABM Tiers

Most companies use a tiered approach:

• One-to-One (1:1): White-glove treatment for your 5-10 highest-value accounts (think $500K+ deals). Resource allocation at this tier is based on account value, ensuring that priority accounts receive fully custom content and dedicated resources. This approach allows for deep personalization for individual accounts and focuses on acquiring a specific target account.
• One-to-Few (1:Few): Customized campaigns for 10-100 similar accounts. Personalized but scalable – think templates you adapt per segment.
• One-to-Many (1:Many): Automated personalization for hundreds or thousands of accounts using technology to deliver relevant messaging at scale.

Where ABM Came From

ABM isn't new. The 1993 book "The One to One Future" by Martha Rogers, Ph.D and Don Peppers predicted we'd move from mass marketing to personalized 1-to-1 engagement. That planted the seed for treating high-value accounts as individual markets.

In 2004, ITSMA coined the term "account-based marketing", but the technology just wasn't ready yet.

Then the 2010s happened. Marketing automation, CRM platforms, and intent data made ABM scalable. Platforms like Demandbase (2007) and 6sense (2013) were built specifically for ABM. By the 2020s, AI meant teams could create hundreds of personalized experiences in hours instead of weeks.

Today, ABM has evolved into Account-Based Experience (ABX), extending personalization across the entire customer lifecycle. And here's the interesting part: 82% of marketers now say B2B and B2C tactics are blurring together.

How Account-Based Marketing Works

Here’s the five-stage playbook most successful ABM programs follow, illustrating how account-based marketing work as a strategic process.

This involves identifying high-value accounts, creating personalized content for decision-makers, and aligning sales and marketing efforts. Following an account-based strategy is key to optimizing marketing efforts for specific accounts and ensuring the best results.

Stage 1: Find Your Ideal Accounts

Start by defining your ideal customer profile (ICP) – the type of company that’s perfect for your solution. Account identification is crucial at this stage, as it enables you to recognize website visitors from target accounts and deliver real-time personalization for higher engagement.

Look at:

• Firmographics: Size, industry, revenue, location
• Technographics: What tech they already use
• Behavioral signals: How they engage with your content
• Intent data: Signs they’re actively researching solutions
• Customer data: Leverage detailed customer data to improve targeting and build more effective campaigns

Then group them by:

• Company size
• Industry
• Region
• Trigger events (like funding rounds, new executives, or expansion news)

You identify target accounts by analyzing target companies and target segments that closely match your ICP, ensuring your ABM efforts are focused on the highest-value opportunities.

Stage 2: Map Out Who Makes Decisions

Enterprise deals aren't one-person decisions. You need to identify:

• Economic buyers (they hold the budget)
• Technical buyers (they evaluate if it actually works)
• Champions (your internal advocates)
• Influencers (they shape what others think)

Stage 3: Build Account-Specific Content

This is where ABM gets interesting. You’re creating:

• Landing pages that speak directly to their challenges
• Ads that mention their company or reference their situation
• Emails that show you’ve done your homework
• Custom presentations and ROI calculators

Personalized messaging is crucial here, as it allows you to engage high-value accounts with tailored, relevant experiences that address their specific needs and increase the effectiveness of your outreach.

There are several ways that you can speak more personally to potential clients in content.

• Send an email mentioning a LinkedIn post you found insightful, congratulate them on a job promotion, or ask after their recent funding round.

• Go the extra mile for key accounts and add dynamic content to your website, leveraging CRM account fields to adapt your site’s text, offers, images, and CTAs in real time to suit each visitor’s journey.

• Create personalized landing pages that bring in account knowledge, CRM data, and more relevancy in order to increase engagement and conversion.

• Target and delight with customized 1:1 social media and search engine adverts directly addressing the account.

Stage 4: Run Multi-Channel Campaigns

ABM works when prospects see your message everywhere. Marketing automation tools play a crucial role in scaling and managing ABM marketing campaigns, enabling teams to deliver personalized outreach and track engagement efficiently. Here are the key tactics with plays you can steal:

Account-Based Advertising

Target decision-makers at specific companies with personalized LinkedIn ads. You can filter by company, role, and seniority to reach exactly who matters. These targeted campaigns are tailored to individual accounts, ensuring your message resonates with each stakeholder.

Example Play: Create five ad variations for your top 20 accounts. Each ad features their company name and an industry-specific pain point. Run these as LinkedIn Sponsored Content for 30 days and track engagement.

Snowflake does this brilliantly, using CRM and data warehouse integration to power personalized creatives across channels, ensuring every touchpoint feels tailored.

Website Personalization

When someone from a target account visits your site, show them content tailored to their industry. This means custom hero images, relevant case studies, and CTAs that match their buying stage.

Example Play: Build three landing page variants — one each for manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services. When visitors from these industries hit your site, they see testimonials from companies like theirs, relevant case studies, and use cases that resonate.

Snowflake uses this approach at scale, delivering 1:1 experiences across channels by connecting CRM data to personalized content that adapts to each buyer’s journey.

Personalized Microsites

Create dedicated microsites for high-value accounts with custom content, ROI calculators, personalized videos, and curated resources — all branded for that specific company.

Example Play: Build a microsite for your top prospect with: (1) a welcome video addressing their executive by name, (2) three case studies from their industry, (3) a custom ROI calculator pre-populated with their data, and (4) a proposed timeline for implementation.

Omnea’s CEO Ben Freeman says: “With Userled, reps are running true 1:1 ABM, creating bespoke experiences at scale and acting on engagement the moment it happens. We’re uncovering audiences we didn’t even know were part of the deal.”

Events and Webinars

According to BrightTalk, 97% of B2B buyers prefer webinars as their way to learn about vendors. Make yours count with personalized invitations and tailored follow-up.

Example Play: Host a roundtable dinner for 8-10 executives from your top accounts. Send personalized video invitations, feature speakers who’ve solved similar challenges, and follow up within 24 hours with custom resources addressing questions from the discussion.*

Pigment treats events as strategic ABM levers, using personalized pre-event invites and post-event follow-ups to accelerate deals and open new conversations. Dedicating marketing resources to these high-value accounts ensures that every interaction is meaningful and aligned with your overall ABM strategy.

Direct Mail

Physical mail cuts through digital noise. Since ABM targets high-value accounts, you can justify premium gifts that make lasting impressions.

Example Play: Send a “success kit” to your top 10 accounts with: (1) a handwritten note from your CEO, (2) a book relevant to their challenge, (3) a QR code to their personalized microsite. Follow up three days later referencing the package.

Platforms like Reachdesk automate this with CRM integration, triggering sends based on account milestones.

Email Campaigns

Unlike blast emails, ABM emails are crafted individually, showing you’ve researched the account.

Example Play: Build a three-email sequence: Email 1 references their recent company news. Email 2 shares a case study from a similar company. Email 3 includes a personalized video showing how you’d solve their specific challenge — then asks for a meeting.

Our email personalization features let sales teams add custom signatures with clickable previews to personalized pages.

Stage 5: Measure What Matters

Forget lead volume. With ABM, it's crucial to track marketing metrics that reflect account engagement and campaign effectiveness.

Here are some key ABM metrics we recommend monitoring:

• Account engagement by company
• ABM penetration by stage
• Annual contract value, customer lifetime value, and win rates
• Click-through rates
• Conversions
• Cross-sells and upsells
• Engagement rates
• Expansion revenue from ABM campaigns
• Funnel metrics from current deals in the pipeline
• High-intent leads without deals
• Influenced pipeline
• New revenue from ABM campaigns
• Number of touchpoints
• Open rates
• Pipeline velocity
• Renewal revenue from ABM campaigns
• Sales cycle
• Uplift of account signals on conversions compared to users and accounts without these signals
• Website “high intent” account journeys

You should also capture engagement in real time with sales notifications.

It’s a no-brainer to track every interaction your potential customers have at every touchpoint to see their engagement.

This will also give you a glimpse into how positively people respond to your customized content. Userled lets you see exactly where prospects are lingering and where they’re dropping off so you can optimize as necessary. 

Our analytics give you real-time insights at both contact and account level, so you can see what’s working and double down.

What are the benefits of account-based marketing?

Alignment Between Marketing and Sales Teams 

Since ABM typically occurs with high contract value accounts (with complex deals and sales cycles), this work will take place in a sales-led motion. However, it requires close collaboration and support from the entire go-to-market (GTM) team (marketing, sales, and operations) for the duration of the sales cycle.

From conceptualizing and defining the ICP, to tailored messaging and content, and capturing insights to notify sales and determine next steps, each department has a vested role in moving prospects through the pipeline. 

The benefit of having everyone aligned with the same outcomes is the ability to maximize the impact of your efforts in the long term.

Consistent Customer Experiences 

The challenge with creating, capturing, and controlling demand at a mid-market to enterprise level is you’re likely dealing with multiple stakeholders, potentially in different departments. You need to move from an individuals to a buyings groups motion, using tactics like account mapping, buyer persona categorization and engagement.

A major benefit of ABM is your ability to create consistency in the customer experience; an experience that’s tailored and strategically unified across every engagement stage. ABM ensures that all messaging, touchpoints, and solutions you present are aligned. You can deliver a cohesive narrative that reflects a deep understanding of the account’s unique challenges and needs to every stakeholder. 

Personalized Marketing Efforts

According to research, 84% of consumers say treating them like a person, not a number, plays a significant part in winning their business. Even in B2B, decision-makers and end-users are “consumers” who want to feel special.

One of the central principles of account-based marketing is creating hyper-personalized marketing assets that go beyond generic campaigns. Personalization is a key differentiator when buying cycles are complex and multiple stakeholders are involved. 

ABM campaigns deliver highly relevant messaging tailored to each target account's specific pain points, business goals, and industry context — across all channels. This precision and maximized personalization ensures every interaction resonates, which helps to increase engagement and drive meaningful conversations. For example, Userled brands report increases in engagement from target accounts of over 67%. 

By focusing on the nuances of each account and channeling this to your marketing, you can create a personalized online experience for every target at every touchpoint with your business. 

Here’s how you can deliver personalized content to target accounts with Userled:

• Landing pages: Create custom 1:1 microsites with personalized content and images that perfectly align with each target account’s brand and profile.
• Content library: Access templates with advanced personalization options. Tailor content based on your audience with AI or dynamic fields.
• Personalized ads: Launch and track your custom LinkedIn, Meta, and Google Ads from one dashboard. A/B test different combinations of messaging, imagery, layouts, and CTAs.
• Email banners: Add custom visual elements like email banners and custom thumbnails to your 1:1 microsite, paired with targeted messaging and unique offers to drive engagement within your email campaigns. 
• Inbound website personalization: Dynamically showcase the most relevant products, content, and CTAs to website visitors to increase engagement and conversion rates.

Increased Engagement 

According to Powered By Search, companies using ABM campaigns see a 90% engagement rate with their target accounts. They also achieve up to 50% better customer re-engagement with personalized messaging.

We can connect the dots between this elevated level of engagement and ABM’s drive to deliver relevant, tailored content. Every touch point becomes valuable and impactful, speaking directly to each account's specific pain points and needs. 

“From our experience, personalized content consistently outperforms generic messaging,” states Ahmed Elmahdy, Founder and Consultant at Rocket Launch Media. “One notable example is when we tailored a campaign for a small local HVAC business. By creating custom landing pages with their branding and showcasing their unique selling points, we saw engagement rates soar by over 60%.”

Shorter Sales Processes

According to research, 77% of B2B buyers say their latest purchase journey was complex. Account-based marketing removes a lot of friction in this process by aligning your sales and marketing efforts around pre-qualified accounts. You’ve already fit the shoe; now it’s a case of getting the customers to walk it out the door.  

ABM makes it easier for buyers to make confident decisions without wading through generic outreach. It allows you to focus your energy on a specific set of accounts and put real solutions in front of them. 

Plus, your buyers can’t miss the fact that you are willing to engage with them (across multiple touchpoints, with deep personalization). When everything is tailored to turn engagement into conversations, you stand out. This accelerates trust and moves them quickly through the funnel.

Increased Content Relevancy and Trust

According to Hubspot’s State of Marketing Report, 85% of marketers were better able to retain customers with an ABM strategy. With every piece of marketing messaging speaking to target accounts' specific needs and challenges, it’s easier to build trust. You’re demonstrating to prospects that you know their pain points and have a solution that aligns with their goals, taking you from “just another vendor” to a trusted partner. 

This trust is invaluable in complex B2B relationships, as it helps build long-term loyalty and deepens relationships with key stakeholders.

Account-Based Marketing vs Account-Based Advertising

Account-based advertising is a specific tactic of account-based marketing (ABM), enabling marketing teams to deliver highly targeted ads to specific accounts that matter most.

These campaigns can be executed across multiple channels, including social media platforms like LinkedIn, Google Ads, and native advertising networks. The result is a more personalized experience for key accounts, increasing the likelihood of engagement and conversion.

For account-based advertising to be effective, it’s essential that sales and marketing teams work together to align messaging and goals, ensuring that every ad campaign is tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of each account. This alignment not only boosts account engagement but also drives revenue growth by focusing marketing and sales efforts on the accounts with the highest revenue potential.

Why ABM Works

Companies with mature ABM programs report that 92% see higher ROI than with any other tactic. Here's why:

1. Better ROI

ABM companies see 38% higher win rates, 91% larger deals, and 24% faster revenue growth. You're not wasting budget on unqualified leads.

2. Faster Sales Cycles

Personalized content accelerates decisions. Companies report 30% shorter times to opportunity and deals closing a month faster.

3. Sales and Marketing Finally Align

Both teams work from the same account list with shared metrics, promoting marketing alignment as a key benefit of ABM. No more arguing about lead quality.

4. Better Customer Experience

Personalized experiences build stronger relationships. ABM accounts often become your best references and advocates.

5. Bigger Deals

By engaging multiple stakeholders, you expand from point solutions to enterprise-wide deals.

6. Clear Attribution

Track engagement and revenue at the account level, making it easy to show marketing's impact.

Common ABM Challenges (And How to Solve Them)

Here are some of the issues that trip people up — and how to avoid them:

1. "We Don't Have the Resources"

Creating personalized content sounds time-consuming. But modern platforms use AI to handle the heavy lifting. At Userled, we've launched hundreds of personalized microsites monthly with just two people on the marketing team.

2. "The Technology Is Too Complex"

Don't buy platforms before you've nailed your ICP and processes. Start with strategy, then add technology.

3. "Sales and Marketing Won't Align"

According to HubSpot, personalization is the biggest challenge. Breaking down silos requires executive buy-in and shared metrics.

4. "Our Data Is a Mess"

ABM depends on clean data. Fix your CRM hygiene before launching programs.

5. "We Can't Measure It"

Multi-touch attribution is complex. Define success clearly and set realistic expectations for time-to-impact.

6. "Everything Takes Too Long"

Traditional Account Based Marketing (ABM) takes months. Modern ABM means launching in days and acting on signals immediately.

When ABM Makes Sense (And When It Doesn't)

ABM isn't for everyone. Here's when it works:

ABM Is Perfect For:

• Enterprise B2B with $50K+ deals and multiple decision-makers

ABM Best Practices

To maximize the impact of account-based marketing, it’s crucial to follow proven best practices that put personalization and alignment at the forefront.

Let's recap.

Start by identifying your high value target accounts—those with the greatest revenue potential and strategic importance. Once you’ve built your target account list, develop personalized campaigns that address the specific needs, pain points, and goals of each account.

True ABM success depends on seamless collaboration between sales and marketing teams. Both teams should be aligned on which accounts to target, what messaging to use, and how to measure success. Consistency across all touchpoints ensures that your ABM campaigns resonate with key stakeholders and drive deeper account engagement.

Leverage data and analytics to track the effectiveness of your ABM efforts. Use intent data to identify when target accounts are actively researching solutions, and adjust your account based advertising and outreach accordingly. Focusing on building strong customer relationships and delivering value at every stage of the journey will help you nurture long-term partnerships and drive sustainable revenue growth.

By following these best practices, marketing teams can ensure their ABM programs deliver measurable results and maximize ROI.

How ABM Drives Revenue Growth

Account-based marketing is a proven strategy for accelerating revenue growth, especially for organizations with long sales cycles and complex buying committees. By concentrating marketing efforts on high value target accounts, marketing teams can deliver personalized campaigns that increase engagement, shorten the sales cycle, and boost conversion rates.

One of the key advantages of ABM is the alignment it creates between marketing teams and sales teams. When both teams are focused on the same target accounts and share unified goals, they can coordinate their efforts to move deals forward more efficiently. This account based approach ensures that every touchpoint is relevant and impactful, helping sales teams close larger deals and expand business within existing accounts.

ABM also empowers marketing teams to better understand the needs and priorities of their target accounts, allowing for more effective and tailored marketing efforts. By nurturing relationships with high value accounts and delivering ongoing value, businesses can increase customer lifetime value and drive sustained revenue growth. Ultimately, ABM enables organizations to focus resources where they’ll have the greatest impact, turning strategic accounts into long-term revenue drivers.

ABM vs. Inbound and Traditional Marketing

Account-based marketing stands apart from inbound and traditional marketing by focusing on quality over quantity. While inbound marketing is designed to attract a broad audience and generate a high volume of leads, ABM targets specific accounts with personalized campaigns tailored to their unique needs. Traditional marketing often casts a wide net with generic messaging, hoping to capture the attention of potential customers across a broad market.

In contrast, ABM is a highly targeted approach that prioritizes high value accounts most likely to drive revenue growth. This strategy requires close collaboration between sales and marketing teams to ensure that every interaction is relevant and consistent across all channels. By aligning marketing efforts with the needs of specific accounts, ABM enables businesses to deliver personalized campaigns that resonate with key decision-makers and accelerate the sales process.

Unlike traditional and inbound marketing, which can result in wasted resources on unqualified leads, ABM focuses marketing and sales efforts on the accounts with the highest revenue potential. This targeted, account based approach not only increases conversion rates but also strengthens customer relationships and drives long-term business growth. For organizations looking to maximize ROI and expand their customer base, ABM offers a strategic alternative to the wide net of traditional marketing.

Common Questions About ABM

What's the difference between ABM and traditional marketing?

Traditional marketing generates lots of leads, then qualifies them. ABM picks high-value accounts first, then creates campaigns specifically for them. It's precision targeting versus spray and pray.

How many accounts should I target?

For 1:1 ABM, start with 5-10 high-value accounts. For 1:Few, target 10-100 similar ones. For 1:Many, scale to hundreds or thousands with automation. Most mature programs use all three.

What team size do I need?

You don't need a huge team. At Userled, we've launched hundreds of personalized microsites monthly with just two marketers. The key is having the right technology and processes—not massive headcount.

How long until I see results?

Early engagement metrics improve within weeks. Revenue impact typically takes 6-12 months as you build relationships through B2B sales cycles.

Does ABM work for small businesses?

Yes, if your deal size justifies the investment. Small businesses often start with 1:Few or 1:Many, using technology to scale before investing in 1:1 programs.

What's the biggest challenge?

Creating personalized content at scale. You need the right data, technology, and team coordination. Other challenges include aligning teams, maintaining data quality, and measuring attribution.

How do I measure success?

Track account-level metrics: coverage, penetration, pipeline velocity, deal size, win rate, and lifetime value. These tie marketing directly to revenue.

Should I stop demand generation?

No. Use demand gen for awareness and inbound. Use ABM to engage and accelerate your best accounts. Most successful companies run both.

Where ABM Goes From Here

ABM has gone from niche enterprise tactic to mainstream B2B strategy. By 2026, personalization and account-centricity are becoming baseline expectations, not differentiators.

The winners share these traits: clear ICP, clean data, aligned teams, and speed. They use technology to amplify human insights. Most importantly, they deliver personalized experiences in days, not months.

The future brings AI-powered personalization, predictive intent data, and seamless orchestration. But the fundamentals stay the same: know your ideal customers, focus on high-value accounts, and show them you understand their challenges.

Start small. Prove value. Learn. Expand. Companies mastering ABM as a fundamental approach—not just a campaign—build real competitive advantages.

The question isn't whether to do ABM. It's how fast you can get started.
