Frequently asked questions

Account Based Marketing (ABM) is a B2B marketing strategy that focuses on a set Target Account List (TAL) within a specific market. ABM provides marketers with an opportunity to deliver more personalized B2B marketing campaigns based on the needs of specific target accounts and companies.

Account-Based Marketing lead generation at Headley Media works by running a content syndication lead generation campaign with your Target Account List (TAL). Your TAL will include the exact accounts and companies you are trying to reach. If you don’t have a TAL or your list is too small, we’ll work with you to set up lookalike audiences to expand your pool of target accounts. Your lead generation campaign will then be run against your ABM target account list only – meaning your content will only be shared with the exact target audience you need to reach.

With ABM you can really personalize your lead generation and nurturing to your most valuable companies, taking into account their individual business needs, making ABM campaigns highly effective. ABM is a customer-first approach to lead generation and has been shown to have a higher-than-average ROI.

ABM lead generation is all about personalization. Once you have your target account list (TAL), you can create specific campaigns to reach the companies on your list and the individual decision-makers. Account-Based Marketing lead generation is a more efficient and effective way to utilize your marketing budget. Creating lookalike audiences from your existing TAL is also an effective ABM lead generation strategy. Get in touch if you’d like to find out more about how Headley Media can help you deliver your ABM lead generation campaigns.

Content syndication lead generation combined with ABM is an effective way to reach specific companies and accounts. As part of our Campaign Delivery Process, we’ll publish your content, such as whitepaper, eBooks, research reports, videos and case studies across our portfolio of owned and operated content library websites. Headley Media’s technology brands are aimed at specific technology markets and have large readerships of professionals in those markets, who are looking for educational content. Prospects give their contact details in a content download form, then we authenticate those details, and deliver a list of leads to you. We’ll also agree on a fixed cost-per-lead with you, so it’s easy to budget. In an ABM lead generation campaign, we will help you to build a Target Account List (TAL) of the companies you most want to reach, the ones most likely to deliver a good ROI. We’ll then work with you on your ABM content syndication to ensure your content provides value to your targeted leads.

Traditionally, lead generation was all about getting as many prospects as possible into your marketing funnel, while ABM was about taking a more tailored, more personalized approach. The benefits of Account-Based Marketing vs lead generation include dedicating more time to the most relevant companies for your solutions, and being able to create messaging that resonates. However, ABM and lead generation actually work really well together. By focusing on the accounts that are most likely to bring the biggest benefits to your business, you can target your Account-Based Marketing lead generation efforts more precisely, making sure you’re reaching the relevant people at the right time.

Headley Media’s content syndication campaigns follow a transparent, data-driven process to generate high-quality B2B leads. We manage the whole process in-house. Based on your campaign type, targeting criteria and campaign add-ons, the full campaign delivery process may differ from one campaign to another but the fundamental elements always remain the same.
