Stop Selling Fear 😨 Why Factal's ABM Program Leads with Proof, Not Pain (with Dave Clark from Factal) | Ep. 282

Episode notes

Most security and risk companies sell fear. Factal sells facts - and their ABM program reflects that difference. On this episode of Scrappy ABM , Mason Cosby sits down with Dave Clark , Marketing Strategist at Factal, to break down how a two-person marketing team with no dedicated ABM stack runs targeted, personalized outreach to Fortune 500 security operations centers - without resorting to fear-mongering. ㅤ The conversation covers how Factal uses NGO champions who move into the private sector as a warm targeting signal, why Dave ignores click-through rates (and why that made them go up 40%), and how to measure ABM success when hyper-attribution is no longer realistic. ㅤ Guest Bio Dave Clark is Marketing Strategist and Producer at Factal, a risk intelligence platform based in Seattle that combines experienced journalists with machine learning to verify and geolocate global incidents in real time. A former sports journalist, Dave has been at Factal since 2022, where he leads content, email, and targeted ABM outreach for a two-person marketing team serving global security and intelligence organizations.
