Re-Examining Account-Based Marketing in the AI-Powered Era with Davis Potter, CEO of ForgeX - Ep 67

Episode notes

The vast majority of companies that think they are running ABM (Account-Based Marketing) are not actually running ABM. Not only that, they wouldn’t recognize a real ABM strategy if one came up and slapped them in the face with a stack of direct mailers. Davis Potter is the CEO & Co-Founder of ForgeX, a research and advisory firm that helps B2B companies modernize their Account-Based Go To Market and AI strategies. Davis joins co-hosts Matt Amundson and Craig Rosenberg for an exploration of the current state of ABM (Account-Based Marketing), what it takes to drive impact of using AI in GTM Execution, and how to right-size the B2B marketing tactics to each account. Also, Craig uses a ‘Matt-ism’, Matt distinguishes cuddling from canoodling, and Producer Sam fixes a problem with his face. Critical Takeaways There are three core account-based marketing models: Enterprise ABM (1:1 and 1:few), Growth ABM (1:many at scale), and Deal Acceleration (targeted support for individual opps). Shift from short, one-off marketing campaigns to holistic, always-on programs that run continuously throughout the year.
