Illustration by Gregor Cresnar. Every couple of years, a new acronym or buzzword takes a foothold in the world of marketing. ABM, the acronym for Account-Based Marketing, is the latest rage. It is an example of how an old concept can be recycled and be claimed anew again. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, ABS, the acronym for Account-Based Sales, was all the rage then.

Storytelling has always been part of content marketing’s DNA. Our co-founder delved into its benefits here and here. Our director of strategy philosophized about it here. Our managing editor considered its complications here.
