Every other piece of the ABM strategy can be perfect, but without the right targets, the program can’t successfully guide potential customers through the marketing and sales funnel towards a buying decision. So how do you come up with your target account list?

This is a loaded question, believe it or not. While most would say, “amplify it,” they’d be correct. However, the type of content it is and the order it’s promoted matters, too.

Introducing a brand through a first touch using bottom funnel sponsored content might not be the best idea.
