An illustration. TargetBridge narrows the market to the accounts that would change your business.

Hunting whales,not minnows.

For high-ticket B2B sales, spray and pray fails. Account-based marketing starts with the accounts, not the audience.

Broad B2B marketing

Casts wide, then filters down

It targets a wide audience and hopes the right companies respond. Much of the spend lands on accounts that will never buy.

Account-based marketing

Starts with the accounts you want

It starts with a defined list of target accounts and directs every effort toward winning them. Think of your Dream 100: the companies that would change your business if they signed today.

Six steps fromaccount to conversation.

A working ABM strategy is simple in concept. It takes discipline in execution, and each step builds on the one before.

  1. 01

    Define your ideal account profile

    Industry, company size, revenue, technology, growth stage, location and the business challenges that make you relevant. Your best existing customers are the best place to start.

  2. 02

    Build your target account list

    Pick the companies you want to win. Keep it focused enough for real personalisation and big enough for pipeline depth. For most B2B teams that is between 50 and 500 accounts.

  3. 03

    Research each account

    Learn their recent news, leadership priorities, industry challenges and buying committee. ARS DataVerse surfaces this intelligence at scale.

  4. 04

    Write personalised messages

    Adapt your core message to the language, challenges and priorities of each account or cluster, so it fits their reality.

  5. 05

    Engage across channels together

    LinkedIn ads, personalised email, direct outreach, content retargeting and event invitations work as one. DualSignal adds email with follow-up calls.

  6. 06

    Measure account engagement

    Track which accounts and which committee members are engaging, so you know where to focus sales effort and when to start a qualification conversation.

One contactis not an account.

A buying decision rarely rests on one person. We map the whole buying committee, so every voice that shapes the decision hears from you.

Different roles care about different things, so each one gets a message written for them.

  1. 1

    The champion

    Feels the pain every day.

  2. 2

    The CFO

    Approves the budget.

  3. 3

    Security

    Checks compliance.

  4. 4

    IT operations

    Handles implementation.

  5. 5

    End users

    Adopt it every day.

Using a first name and a company name is not ABM. Real personalisation starts with real account intelligence.

An example. Northwind Software and these people are made up.

SubjectA calmer first month for new support hires

Hi Priya, I saw that Northwind opened a second support hub this quarter. Teams that grow that fast often feel it first in onboarding. Since you read our onboarding guide last week, here is a two-page example of how similar teams kept it simple.

SubjectKeeping the cost of growth predictable

Hi Daniel, with a second support hub opening at Northwind, the budget question often shifts from "can we?" to "what will it cost to keep up?" As the pricing page caught your team's eye, here is a short note on how costs stay predictable as teams scale.

SubjectHow this fits the systems you already run

Hi Meera, Northwind runs on Salesforce, so we looked at how this fits your current setup without a long rollout. You asked about integrations in the guide, so here is the short version.

  • Account what is happening at the company
  • Role what this person cares about
  • Moment what they just did

Surround the account,at the right moment.

ABM works because target accounts meet your brand in several places, in a coordinated way, before a sales conversation is ever proposed.

  • LinkedIn ads

    Show up where decision-makers already are.

  • Personalised email sequences

    Written for the account and the role.

  • Direct outreach

    With DualSignal, email is followed by a real call.

  • Content retargeting

    Keep the right story in front of them.

  • Event invitations

    Invite them to live and mock-live webinars.

Timing is everything

When a target account starts researching your category or comparing vendors, ARS DataVerse spots those buying signals and we start the right sequence right away, while their interest peaks.

Three types of ABM,one right mix for you.

ABM is a spectrum, from deeply personal to scaled. The right type depends on your deal size, sales cycle and resources.

  1. ABM 1:1

    Strategic ABM

    Deeply personalised campaigns for a small number of high-value enterprise accounts. Each gets bespoke content, custom outreach and dedicated sales attention. Best for deals worth six figures or more.

  2. ABM 1:Few

    ABM Lite

    Personalised campaigns for clusters of 5 to 15 accounts that share similar characteristics. Messaging is tailored to the cluster. Best for mid-market targets with strong commonality.

  3. ABM 1:Many

    Programmatic ABM

    Technology-driven campaigns across hundreds of target accounts, using shared messaging adapted by segment. Less personalisation per account, but still far more targeted than broad demand generation. Best for scaling ABM across a large ICP.

Most B2B teams run a mix: strategic ABM for the top 10 to 20 dream accounts, ABM Lite for the next tier, and programmatic ABM for the rest of the ideal customer profile.

Measure accounts,not just leads.

ABM is measured by account engagement, not lead volume. Revenue from your target accounts is the final test of whether it is working.

  • Accounts engagingThe share of target accounts showing active engagement.
  • Committee reachThe number of buying committee members reached per account.
  • Pipeline coverageAccount pipeline compared with your target list.
  • Deal velocity and sizeHow fast and how big ABM-sourced opportunities are.
  • Win rateAgainst ABM-targeted accounts versus non-ABM pipeline.

What is ARS TargetBridge?

ARS TargetBridge is an account-based marketing (ABM) service from ARS B2B Social Bridge. We pick the high-value accounts that fit your ideal customer profile, map the people who decide, and run personalised, multi-touch campaigns for them.

What is account-based marketing (ABM)?

Account-based marketing is a focused B2B approach where teams identify specific high-value accounts and direct personalised, coordinated campaigns toward winning them, instead of broadcasting widely and hoping the right companies respond. It treats each company as a market of one.

How is ABM different from traditional B2B lead generation?

Traditional lead generation casts wide and filters down, and it optimises for volume. ABM starts with a defined list of target accounts and directs every effort toward winning them. It usually produces fewer but higher-quality opportunities, because fit is established before the first conversation.

What are the three types of ABM?

Strategic ABM (one to one) is deeply personalised for a small number of high-value accounts. ABM Lite (one to few) tailors campaigns to clusters of 5 to 15 similar accounts. Programmatic ABM (one to many) uses technology to run campaigns across hundreds of accounts. Most B2B teams run a mix.

How many target accounts should an ABM list have?

For most B2B teams, a working ABM list holds between 50 and 500 accounts, depending on deal size and sales capacity. It should be focused enough for real personalisation and large enough to give you pipeline depth.

How does intent data improve ABM?

Intent data shows which accounts on your target list are researching your category or comparing vendors right now. ARS DataVerse watches your target accounts for these buying signals, so we can start the right sequence while their interest peaks.

How do you measure the success of ABM?

ABM is measured by account engagement rather than lead volume: the share of target accounts engaging, the buying committee members reached per account, pipeline coverage against your target list, deal velocity and size, and win rate against ABM-targeted accounts. Revenue from target accounts is the final test.
