Join Ryan Almond, Global ABX Director at Henkel Adhesives, for an exciting exploration into their journey from ABM newbies to ABM pros.

 

Discover how this century-old industry titan transformed its marketing game, starting with zero ABM knowledge. Henkel’s early experiments paved the way for big wins and led to a full scale ABM programme, but of course it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

 

It’s one thing to deliver a successful pilot, but quite another to realise that what got you here, won’t get you there!

 

In this keynote, get ready to learn:

  • How Henkel devised and executed a successful ABM pilot
  • How the ABM team navigated the organisation to achieve incremental scaling of ABM across the enterprise
  • Why the principles of an ABM pilot are not sufficient to achieve real scale and how you can use new technology to super charge your scaling efforts.

Get ready for practical tips, fun anecdotes, and a roadmap to ABM success at any scale.

How can you increase the return of your ABM programme without increasing your budgets? This was the question driving Annelie Kniep when she took over the ABM program at Splunk. The right answer for Splunk? Take a fresh look to see how ABM could make more of existing initiatives elsewhere in the organisation (and give more value back to them, too). Then turbocharge the programme with AI.

 

Struggling to build C-suite relationships through their existing ABM, the company decided on a cross-functional approach to ‘in-account services’. This combined a CXO toolkit with an immersive experience to help key accounts build strong C-suite relationships, and used AI tools for a more effective, efficient process.

 

This redefined ABM process is now driving real growth for Splunk. Find out how Splunk and The Marketing Practice partnered to make this work.

 

This session will cover:

  • How to join up your approach to ABM across functions
  • Redefining tangible, achievable goals for ABM
  • Crafting a template for accessing the CXO and other C-suite targets
  • Creating a toolkit of in-account services that can be leveraged across more accounts
  • How AI can accelerate your ABM efforts

Discover how to supercharge your ABM programme by looking beyond the ABM team and combining more distinctive, immersive experiences with smarter ways of working using AI.

How do you grow an ABM strategy and programme that meets the demands of a sales organisation that expects immediate results? This is the scenario that Ping Identity faced as the company merged with ForgeRock at the end of 2023.

 

From when the ForgeRock pilot programmes first began in 2023, Ping Identity faced the challenge of building out their strategic approach with a full blown ABM 1:1 and 1:Few “Always-On” strategy within three months of the two companies coming together.

Attendees will hear how Ping Identity brought the sales organisation on their ABM journey and used a Go To Market multi wave and multi-channel programme to drive awareness, engagement and pipeline from a newly combined customer base.

 

We will hear about their learnings, good and bad, the results, how they pivoted when things didn’t quite go according to plan, and more importantly where they are going to go next as they draw on their first wave and build out an EMEA focussed ABM Centre of Excellence.
