The popularity and successes of account-based marketing (ABM) are unmatched. Demand Gen Report research revealed that 98% of marketers are currently using or plan to use ABM strategies, with 73% of respondents who use ABM indicating it greatly exceeded their organization's expectations. Given the strength of this powerhouse strategy, it's important to reflect on what's working — and what's not.
The industry's shift to digital enabled a flurry of innovations that helped fill many gaps in marketers' ABM playbooks. This included opening better lines of communication between internal teams, creating more experiential campaigns and pushing content marketers out of the box. Those experience-based programs go beyond just marketing and take the shape of account-based experiences (ABX), which experts say is the next level of ABM.
