Today’s financial services landscape is evolving rapidly in multiple ways. Customer expectations are increasing, digital transformation continues to accelerate, regulations (and also compliance) are getting more complex, and market competition shows no sign of slowing down. Staying ahead of these shifts isn’t just important—it’s mission-critical.

In order to thrive in today’s fast-evolving financial services landscape, you need agility, precision, and speed when it comes to engaging and converting customers. That’s where data-driven insights come into play.

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) platforms, powered by AI, provide the insights that enable financial marketers to target the right clients, deliver personalized customer experiences, and drive measurable outcomes related to revenues, customer satisfaction (CSAT), and retention.

At Demandbase, we’re leading this charge, equipping financial service organizations with the tools they need to:

  • gain and retain operational agility,
  • outpace their competitors by anticipating and rapidly addressing client pain points/problems,
  • exceed customer expectations with tailored messaging and solutions, as well as grow and future-proof revenues.

Stay Ahead of the Financial Services Transformation

The financial services sector isn’t just changing – it’s innovating and transforming. From FinTech disruptors seeking to change the game to traditional finserv institutions adopting new-age technologies and new modes of operating, keeping pace has never been more challenging or more important. 

Meanwhile, finserv customers are demanding more from the industry and its brands—they’re seeking more personalization, more speed, and more value delivered when they need it. To meet these high expectations, financial marketers need to pivot their strategies and tap into cutting-edge technologies that provide actionable insights that fuel personalized marketing.

This transformation isn’t about abandoning what’s working; it’s about enhancing it. Powered by platforms like Demandbase, ABM enables marketers to:

  • identify high-value accounts, those with the highest propensity to be in-market for your offerings,
  • craft highly-personalized campaigns that address account/customer needs as they arise (i.e., outreach aligned with incoming customer intent signals), and
  • expand lifetime customer value (and increased retention) by identifying opportunities to cross-sell and up-sell based on evolving customer needs.

The Status Quo No Longer Cuts It

Generalized campaigns that target anyone and everyone fail and ultimately turn off prospects and customers, largely because they signal that you don’t know your customers and don’t want to know them. What does work (if not scattershot outreach)? An ABM approach powered by data, one that helps you segment targets with laser-sharp accuracy and personalize outreach at scale.

Your Choice: Focus or Risk Irrelevence

When you focus your marketing efforts and investments on the clients who matter most, customizing your messaging and tailoring your offers to evolving client/prospect needs, you simply drive better marketing and build stronger, revenue-generating customer relationships. For financial marketers, this means dropping scattergun approaches that are akin to “spray and pray” – and instead choose precise targeting and relevant, impactful engagement that converts.

Meet Rising Customer Expectations

Customers want to feel understood and want you to engage with them like the individuals they truly are. ABM technology allows you to deliver hyper-contextualized, personalized messaging that resonates with clients, whether they are high-income individuals or institutional accounts, fostering trust and long-term relationships.

Financial organizations require nuanced, data-rich strategies to succeed.

Navigate the Future with AI-Powered ABM

AI is no longer a cool buzzword – it’s an operational necessity. Financial marketers using AI-powered ABM can automate mundane tasks, analyze extensive data points, and make smarter, faster decisions that move the needle on customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue growth. AI supercharges your marketing efforts. from identifying untapped customer segments to optimizing your campaign performance.

Here’s how AI helps you thrive:

  • Effortless Data Management: Manually sorting through mountains of data (trying to separate the signal from the noise) is time-consuming and costly. AI does this work in seconds, surfacing key insights with unparalleled efficiency.
  • Actionable Predictive Analytics: Would you like to know what your clients need before they do? What about delivering timely, relevant offers that leave them saying “wow, how did they know we needed this now?” Predictive AI gives you this power, helping you anticipate customer needs that enable you to proactively offer relevant solutions.
  • Enhanced Customer Journeys: From the first touchpoint to closing the deal, AI ensures every customer interaction is relevant, valuable, and timely. Your team can “sense” customer needs and respond with appropriate solutions, orchestrating engagement in such a coordinated way that clients can feel the harmony (and even hum along with you).

Financial marketers who embrace AI aren’t just building campaigns—they’re listening to what customers want, building long-term trust, and creating stronger customer relationships in a competitive market. Does all that lead to more relevant marketing and enhanced ROI? You betcha.

Success Starts with Data-Driven Decisions

It’s time to stop guessing and start using data to better understand what your customers want, when they want it. With an ABM platform like Demandbase, financial services organizations can make data-driven decisions with confidence, decisions that impact customer experience through every single touchpoint.

Data can inform key decisions like:

  • understanding where to invest resources,
  • how to personalize customer interactions and offers, and/or
  • when to pivot a strategy or marketing tactic (as you follow where the data leads).

The result of this data-fueled approach supported by AI? A sharper competitive edge, loyal customers, and a measurable impact on revenues.
