Content plays a major role in Account-Based Marketing. Compelling and engaging content is required, at all levels of ABM, to tell your story to your prospects.

“Strong content is a currency in today’s world. ABMers have to be really good storytellers. They have to be able to synthesize the complex down to bite-size, compelling content that can be leveraged by their teams and absorbed by clients.”

Craig Rones, VP of Marketing, NTT DATA Services

The Value of Strong Content

“66 % of marketers say being able to produce engaging, well-designed visual content consistently is their biggest struggle”

As an ABM leader, you are a disseminator of consistently relevant, high-quality information that lets you establish your (personal) brand and stand out as a leading influencer and authority in your field.

Creating stand-out content that is relevant, engaging, and tells your story takes an incredible amount of time, expertise and money.

Developing and strengthening your storytelling skills and approach provides a strong foundation for ABM engagement at every level.
