With a dedicated focus on services and solutions for the connected economy, our webcasts provide insight to help marketers strengthen reputation, increase revenue, and deepen customer relationships.

We are a world-leading B2B growth consultancy. As pioneers of account-based marketing (ABM), we enable you to embed a customer-first mindset, truly understand your markets, and build the right capabilities.


Want to know how to scale your account-based approach to improve your win rates and build trust with top clients without blowing the budget or sacrificing your program’s integrity?

Hear how Amazon Web Services (AWS) overcame some of the major challenges of Account-Based Marketing (ABM), including developing customized assets at scale, tracking and measuring results, and “doing more with less”— i.e. optimizing resources and seeing a return on investment without increasing expenditure. 

In this webinar, Eric Martin, former ABM-er at AWS, will share how his team established a framework for an insight-led go-to-market. Because, when buyers research twice as many solution providers as they did five years ago and nearly three-quarters of decision-makers identify their winning provider before they’ve even compiled a shortlist, competition is hotter than ever. 

To win and retain clients, marketers must equip teams to succeed, focus on client outcomes, and smooth the path to purchase.

The power of a client-centric go-to-market strategy

Many marketers split their budgets and attention evenly between existing clients and new logos. But, at a time when budgets are tight and competition is high, is this the best allocation of resources and the fastest route to ROI?

New data from Momentum ITSMA reveals why investing in your existing key clients over chasing new logos may be your best bet for long-term revenue growth.

Our latest Client Buying Index (CBX) findings challenge the traditional 50:50 budget allocation between new acquisitions and existing key accounts highlighted in the 2024 Global State of Account-Based Marketing report.

If you’re looking to leverage data-driven insights to optimize your strategic initiatives and maximize ROI from client-centric marketing efforts, this webinar is a must-see.

Join us to:

1. Learn why the conventional wisdom of evenly splitting your ABM budget between new and existing accounts may be limiting your growth potential. Our CBX data reveals compelling reasons to tilt your budget towards nurturing existing key accounts.

2. Discover strategies to safeguard your most valuable accounts. We'll delve into deliberate approaches to shield these assets from competitive threats and ensure sustained engagement and satisfaction.

3. Gain insights into identifying and countering potential flanking maneuvers by competitors. Understand how to stay ahead and keep your accounts secure.

4. Reflect on the core factors that originally won you the business. We'll discuss how revisiting and reinforcing these can fortify relationships and encourage renewal and expansion.

Burnout is on the rise. Marketers are faced with mounting pressure to deliver more with fewer resources while adjusting to organizational change and disruption.

Creating new pipeline and winning existing deals in your top accounts

Tired of the same old ABM echo chamber? Ready for a fresh perspective? We certainly are, and can’t wait to share it with you. We’re kicking off our webinar series – Supercharge 2024 Growth – to give exclusive insights for your planning.

 The missing ingredients: Why 8 out of 10 ABM programs aren't delivering real growth:

- When buying is becoming harder for clients, sales and marketing leaders are feeling the pressure to generate pipeline, accelerate live opportunities, and secure those big deals.
- ABM is a proven strategy, but it only delivers real impact when it’s done well. The 2023 Global State of Account-Based Marketing report reveals that while ABM programs are performing, there's a big gap when it comes to driving substantial impact where it matters most: revenue growth.
- Discover why your ABM program needs to be more than just a personalized campaign and learn how to bridge the demand-generation chasm.

ABM is a strategy that channels full marketing power to accounts. We’ll discuss why:

- In most organizations, ABM becomes a stop-and-start effort, influenced by leadership changes and a short-term focus.
- ABM programs should play a central role in building long-term reputation and driving year-round sales.
- Generative AI is a catalyst for change, but success depends on aligning the organization and the strategy.
- Marketing leaders must direct marketing at strategic clients and focus on impacting the three Rs – reputation, relationships, and revenue – over time.

We look forward to seeing you there!
