From inbound strategy to account based marketing

What is account – based marketing ? It is a marketing technique aimed at intercepting (and then communicating with) a specific target , identifying the tone of voice, the topics and levers of interest towards the target interlocutor and subsequently informing him about a specific service or product, indicating the aspects , the specifics, the useful information that are really of interest to you. Information that really touches a sore point, a solution or support to a problem: a perceived or real problem experienced as such in the company day by day.

Account based marketing, or ABM

starts from the assumption that a good strategy, even in the B2B sector, does not address the target, the companies, as “abstract” entities, but considers the single individuals who work there as potential customers ( prospects) of value. In simple words, consider first of all how to address people in the flesh , with interests, needs, problems to solve, solutions to find, both in B2C and in B2B.

To place it in a more easily recognizable context, we can consider ABM as an evolution of inbound marketing, which arises from the need, perceived in recent years, to increasingly connect marketing strategy and business strategy.
