- Multi-Channel Approach: We implemented a multi-channel approach, utilizing email, social media, and direct mail to reach decision-makers within the target accounts. This approach ensured that our messaging reached the right people through their preferred communication channels.
- Marketing Automation: To streamline the ABM process, we used marketing automation tools to schedule and personalize communications, track engagement, and trigger follow-up actions based on recipient behavior.
