Account Based
Marketing
Copyright ©2016, Engagio Inc. All rights reserved.
• Outbound can be easier to scale and driver larger deals than inbound
• Outbound does not necessarily mean interruption; use account-specific content to reach out
• Account Based Everything is a strategy that orchestrates personalized marketing, sales, and success efforts at named accounts
• Human email is by far the most important channel for account based everything
• Don’t measure measure account-based everything with quantity; measure via coverage, awareness, engagement, reach & impact
