Account-based marketing

also: ABM

Account-based marketing (ABM) is a go-to-market motion that treats individual high-value accounts as markets of one, coordinating marketing and sales to pursue a named list rather than casting a wide net.

In a scored world, ABM is the play reserved for high-value, lower-propensity accounts, the long shots, that are worth a human, orchestrated touch rather than automation.
