Turning Down the Noise to Achieve ABM Success
Paul Santos, VMware, ABM Manager

Nearly everyone has some idea of what account-based marketing is, or at least what it should be. We’d venture to say the term “ABM” is even overused, internally and externally. Some vendors add it to proposals to sound more sophisticated. Execs latch onto it as the saving grace when revenue numbers start to look a bit shaky. Frankly, there’s a lot of noise in the ABM world — and with it, a lot of pressure.

In this presentation I’ll share my marketing journey — the good, the bad, and the ugly — and be as transparent as possible about how I turn the volume down. I’ll talk about account strategies, my preferred martech, team collaborations, and more that have helped us achieve ABM success at VMware.


11:30 AM – 11:55 AM
