ON24 Is Grilling Up Some Tasty ABM Insights On May 30

Marketers today know how to cook up some stellar content. The problem, though, is serving that content to the right audience at the right time. That’s why marketers are increasingly turning to account-based marketing, or ABM, as a tactic to get the right content to the right people at the right time.

But ABM isn’t easy to pull off. It requires a lot of resources and a lot of know-how. That’s why, on Thursday, May 30, we’re going to pull out the grill and serve up ABM insights at ON24 HQ in San Francisco, California. It’s an ABM BBQ and you’re invited.

Here’s the official agenda for the ON24 ABM BBQ:

• 6 – 6:45 p.m.: Grill-side chat with Aurea Software’s VP of Demand Generation, Jeremy Collins

Can’t make it or don’t live in the Bay Area? No worries. Here are three servings of fresh ABM tips you can use right now:

Tip 1: Talk to Sales. Talk to Sales. Talk to Sales.

Before you embark on your ABM journey, talk to your sales team. Sales can provide you with great insights into your target audience, help define the program’s success metrics (e.g., leads, conversions and opportunities) and help nurture a culture of cooperation.

Tip 2: Research and Document

The second step is always an important one. Do your due diligence and research the audience you wish to target with your ABM program. Develop personas, talk to account managers and document what you’ve discovered. Take special care to thoroughly understand the industry in question. Write down any jargon you come across and understand the context around it.

Tip 3: Provide Opportunities to Interact, Provide Feedback

Marketing touches today must provide a two-way conversation. That is, both the creator and the consumer need to be able to talk to one another and provide feedback. We think webinars and Target pages are fantastic tools for this very reason. Both tools offer you the opportunity to push out Q&As, polls and surveys. They also allow individual prospects to self-identify interest, industry and role — helping you to refine your messaging and your targeting.

Regardless of where you are in your ABM journey, we’re here to help. Stop by on ON24 HQ on May 30 for some great insights.
