10 Must-See ABM Sessions at Marketo Marketing Nation Summit 2018

There’s a lot happening this year at Marketo’s Marketing Nation Summit!

This year’s summit has dozens of sessions dedicated to ABM, led by experts from small businesses and enterprise companies alike. We are thrilled to have a variety of Terminus customers sharing their stories of ABM transformation at the conference. Take a look at our top nine picks for account-based marketing sessions you won’t want to miss at Marketing Nation Summit 2018.

1. Inbound + Outbound = All-Bound | Sales + Marketing = Smarketing

The way people shop, buy, and consider purchases has fundamentally changed in the last three years. Sales and marketing teams must work together to deliver an integrated end-to-end experience that captures the buyer’s interest and moves them quickly through the funnel. In this session, Marketo’s own Jill Rowley and Kristen Cardinalli will explain how they adopted a multichannel all-bound strategy to create a successful smarketing team at Marketo and facilitated the ideal experience for customers.

2. How VersionOne Engaged with 88% of Target Accounts for ABM

In this session, VersionOne’s Jodi Lebow and Uberflip’s Randy Frisch team up to share insights and strategies for successfully engaging target accounts by creating personalized content experiences with the Uberflip platform. Join Jodi and Randy to learn how to create personalized content experiences at scale, increase engagement with key accounts, and accelerate the buying process.

3. ABM Wins: Invoca Shares How They Tripled Engagement From Target Accounts

Invoca’s sales cycle requires a lot of education. The traditional B2B approach of sending a  weekly nurture email that drives prospects to a single, gated landing page wasn’t doing the job fast enough. Discover how Invoca evolved from relying on gated, single-asset landing pages to adopting a less gated and more customer-centric approach that achieved a 3X lift in target engagement and a 2.5X increase in average deal size. Then, learn how you can apply their strategies at your own organization.
