2021. What a year. And what a year for ABM.
Without a shadow of a doubt, ABM came of age in 2021.
Now I hear some of you saying that Account-based Marketing has been around now for some time - almost 20 years.
And you are absolutely right. (Want to know the origins? Check out this episode of Let’s talk ABM where I speak to the very person who coined the term ABM - Bev Burgess).
But I think that ABM had a stellar year in 2021.
We saw many more companies adopt ABM strategies.
We saw many more B2B Marketers become more proficient in ABM.
We saw many more organizations share success stories of their ABM strategies.
We personally here at the Agency saw many more B2B organizations commission us to help launch (or refine) their ABM programs.
What better way to end 2021 than to ask some of our ABM friends and colleagues for their ABM highlight of 2021.
Sit back, grab a coffee, and enjoy hearing from some of the world’s leading ABM practitioners and thought leaders.
P.S: Keep checking back in as more and more ABM highlights of 2021 to come.
