Single Media

In a competitive healthcare market with complex sales cycles, one workforce analytics company needed a smarter way to grow pipeline. With limited internal resources, they turned to Yo Marketing to build a scalable ABM engine. The result? A high-performing campaign that aligned teams, engaged top-tier accounts, and drove qualified leads.

Client

A leading provider of workforce analytics platforms for the US healthcare industry.

Challenge

The client, facing a competitive market and a complex sales cycle, needed to generate high-quality leads and build a robust sales pipeline. While they understood the value of Account-Based Marketing (ABM), they lacked the internal resources and expertise to design and execute a scalable, strategic ABM program. Their Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy included strategic ABM campaigns, but they needed a partner to bring this to life effectively. Specifically, they needed to:

1. Identify and Prioritize High-Value Target Accounts: Move beyond broad targeting to focus on accounts with the highest propensity to buy.

2. Develop Persona-Based Messaging: Craft compelling narratives that resonated with the specific pain points and needs of different decision-makers within target accounts.

3. Create a Multi-Touch, Multi-Channel Campaign Strategy: Orchestrate consistent engagement across various channels to nurture relationships and build interest.

4. Implement a Scalable and Repeatable ABM Process: Establish a framework that could be consistently applied across different regions and target account segments.

5. Build and Maintain a Steady Flow of Highly Qualified Leads. Implement lead qualification protocols and identify metrics to measure performance.

Solution: Yo Marketing's Scalable ABM Campaign Strategy

Yo Marketing partnered with the client to develop and implement a comprehensive, strategic ABM campaign strategy designed to address these challenges. The key components of the solution included:

Collaborative Account Prioritization

We worked closely with the client's sales, marketing, and account teams to identify and prioritize target accounts across all of their target regions. This collaborative approach ensured alignment and focused resources on the most promising opportunities.

Persona-Driven Messaging Tracks

Our team developed tailored messaging tracks for key personas within the target accounts (e.g., CHRO, CFO, VP of Operations, Clinical Directors). This ensured that each interaction addressed the specific needs and priorities of the individual decision-maker.

Multi-Touch Campaign Playbook

We created a detailed, 8-week campaign playbook that orchestrated a series of coordinated touches across multiple channels, including:

1. Email Marketing: Personalized email sequences delivering valuable content and insights.

2. LinkedIn InMail Messages: Direct, one-to-one outreach to key decision-makers.

3. LinkedIn Sponsored Posts: Targeted content delivered to specific personas within target accounts.

4. Targeted Advertising: Display and/or social media ads reinforcing key messages.

5. Phone Calls : Direct outreach from inside sales representatives, strategically timed and informed by previous engagement.

Scalable ABM Playbooks

We developed customized playbooks for the different target accounts.

Ongoing Execution and Optimization

Yo Marketing didn't just develop the strategy; we actively executed the campaigns, continuously monitoring performance and making data-driven adjustments to optimize results.

Results

Yo Marketing's ABM campaign strategy delivered significant, measurable results for the client, that can be categorized in:

Increased Pipeline of Qualified Leads: The campaign has generated the quality of leads by moving up market and aligning with the core ICP.

Improved Sales and Marketing Alignment: The collaborative approach fostered stronger alignment between sales and marketing, leading to more efficient and effective outreach.

Scalable and Repeatable Process: The established ABM framework provides a foundation for ongoing success, allowing the client to consistently target new accounts and expand their reach.

Data-Driven Insights: Continuous monitoring and optimization provide valuable insights into campaign performance, enabling ongoing refinement and improvement.

Conclusion

By following our strategic ABM approach, the healthcare workforce analytics platform provider was able to overcome their lead generation challenges and build a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities. Combining deep ABM expertise, collaborative planning, and meticulous execution, Yo Marketing delivered a solution that was not only effective but also scalable and sustainable.

Why 2025 Belongs to Customer Marketing

By Sarah Taylor, Yo Marketing Agency Head of Global Events As we head deeper into 2025, a quiet shift is reshaping the way marketing teams operate. It’s not about flashy lead gen tactics or ever-larger acquisition funnels anymore. The most forward-thinking businesses are asking a different question: How do we get more value from the customers we already have? ### Budget Cuts and Strategic Shifts With many marketing budgets under pressure, companies are re-evaluating how and where they invest. For a long time, growth was synonymous with acquiring net-new leads. But in today’s landscape, where CAC (customer acquisition cost) is climbing and conversion timelines are stretching, executives are doubling down on a more efficient path to growth: customer marketing. In fact, while many demand gen roles are being frozen or cut, there’s been a noticeable uptick in investment for customer advocacy, lifecycle marketing, and community-led programmes. These aren’t just tactical roles; they’re becoming the backbone of a more sustainable growth strategy. ### It’s More Than Just Upselling Let’s be clear: this isn’t about squeezing more revenue out of existing clients. The shift is much bigger than that. It’s about: • Creating genuine brand advocates • Showcasing customer success as proof of value • Building deeper loyalty that leads to repeat business and referrals Customer marketers are becoming the storytellers of the business, spotlighting real-world results, amplifying trusted voices, and helping prospects see what’s possible through the lens of existing success. ### Advocacy Over Acquisition When done right, your happiest customers become your most powerful marketing channel. They bring credibility, reduce sales cycles, and build trust in a way no campaign or cold call ever could. And the beauty is, you’ve already done the hard part – they chose you. Now it’s about nurturing those relationships and building a platform for them to tell their story. In 2025, the smartest marketers aren’t chasing attention. They’re earning trust. If you’re ready to turn your customers into your most valuable marketing asset, Yo Marketing can help. We design and deliver customer-led programmes that build loyalty, drive referrals, and create stories that sell. Let’s talk!

Unlock B2B Growth: The Power and Strategy of Account-Based Marketing

By Nick Veneris, Yo Marketing Agency Director of Digital Strategy & Growth In the competitive landscape of B2B, finding efficient ways to drive significant growth is paramount. While broad marketing strategies have their place, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is emerging as a powerhouse for companies targeting high-value clients. It’s not just a buzzword; it's a strategic approach proven to deliver substantial results. In fact, [87% of B2B marketers report that ABM outperforms](https://www.terminus.com/state-of-abm-report/) other strategies in ROI, and companies using ABM can generate 208% more revenue for their marketing efforts. This post dives into why ABM is a game-changer for B2B companies, exploring its core benefits, strategic goals, effective strategies, and how to approach implementation. #### What Exactly is Account-Based Marketing? At its heart, ABM is a highly focused B2B strategy where marketing and sales teams collaborate closely. Instead of casting a wide net hoping to catch leads, ABM identifies specific high-value companies (accounts) that are the best fit for your products or services. Resources are then concentrated on engaging these target accounts with personalized campaigns tailored directly to their unique needs, challenges, and position in the buying journey. It’s about quality over quantity, depth over breadth. #### The Compelling Benefits of ABM for B2B Companies Why are so many B2B growth teams prioritizing ABM? The advantages are clear and impactful: **1. Superior ROI and Revenue Generation:** As highlighted, ABM consistently delivers higher returns compared to other marketing strategies. Focusing resources on accounts most likely to close drives significant revenue growth. **2. Increased Precision and Efficiency:** ABM eliminates wasted spend on audiences who aren't a good fit. By concentrating efforts on predefined high-value accounts, marketing resources are used far more effectively. **3. Enhanced Customer Lifetime Value:** ABM isn't just about acquisition; it's about building deep relationships. This focus leads to better engagement and significantly higher customer retention rates (companies using ABM see a 36% higher rate). **4. Faster Sales Cycles:** Personalized engagement and sales/marketing alignment mean target accounts move through the pipeline more quickly. ABM users report a 27% faster deal cycle. **5. Improved Sales and Marketing Alignment:** ABM necessitates collaboration. Both teams must agree on target accounts, develop messaging, and coordinate outreach, leading to a unified approach and more qualified opportunities handed to sales. **6. Deeper Account Penetration:** ABM allows you to map out and engage multiple stakeholders within a target account, increasing the chances of closing complex B2B deals. **7. Real-World Results:** The strategic focus of ABM isn't just theoretical; it translates into measurable business impact. By concentrating resources on high-value accounts and delivering personalized engagement, companies consistently see improvements in pipeline velocity, deal size, and overall revenue contribution from their most important clients. To see a tangible example of how a well-executed ABM strategy can yield significant outcomes, [read our case study](https://yomarketing.agency/blogs/case-study-yo-marketing-drives-pipeline-growth-for-workforce-analytics-platform-with-strategic/). This provides concrete proof of ABM's effectiveness in driving real growth. #### Key Goals Driving ABM Strategies Companies adopt ABM to achieve specific, high-impact business objectives: **Land High-Value Enterprise Deals:** Focusing resources on the biggest opportunities. **Increase Average Deal Size:** By understanding account needs deeply and cross-selling/up-selling effectively. **Improve Pipeline Velocity:** Moving key accounts from identification to close more quickly. **Build Strong, Lasting Client Relationships:** Turning key accounts into long-term partners. **Enhance Sales & Marketing Synergy:** Creating a seamless, collaborative GTM motion. **Boost Revenue from Target Accounts:** Directly attributing marketing efforts to closed business within the most important segments. #### Core ABM Strategies & How to Approach Implementation Getting started with ABM involves a structured approach: **1. Identify Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP):** Analyze your best existing customers. What industries, company sizes, technologies used, or pain points do they share? Define what an ideal target account looks like. **2. Select Target Accounts:** Build a focused list of companies that fit your ICP. Use firmographic data (industry, size, location), technographic data (technologies they use), and intent data (signals indicating they are researching solutions like yours). Keep the list manageable and focused. **3. Research and Personalize:** Deeply understand the selected accounts. Identify key stakeholders, business challenges, and strategic goals. Map out the buying committee. **4. Create Tailored Content & Messaging:** Develop marketing assets (emails, case studies, presentations, ad creatives) that speak directly to the specific needs, industry, or personas within each target account. Generic messaging won't work. **5. Orchestrate Multi-Channel Engagement:** Coordinate outreach across various touchpoints. This includes personalized emails, targeted digital advertising (like LinkedIn ads), social media engagement, direct mail (if appropriate), and coordinated sales outreach. **6. Align Sales and Marketing Activities:** Constant communication is key. Ensure both teams know the engagement plan, share insights, and work together on follow-up. **7. Measure, Analyze, and Optimize:** Track progress based on ABM-specific metrics. Focus on account engagement levels, pipeline influence (how many target accounts enter the sales pipeline), deal velocity, and ultimately, revenue generated from the target account list. Use insights to refine your approach. Implementing these steps requires a practical mindset focused on consistent effort rather than quick fixes. For a deeper look into crafting a realistic and effective plan, explore [Forget Magic Bullets: The Real ABM Strategy for B2B Success](https://yomarketing.agency/blogs/forget-magic-bullets-the-real-abm-strategy-for-b2b-success/). #### Measuring What Matters in ABM Success in ABM isn't measured by vanity metrics like clicks or impressions. Instead, focus on business impact: Pipeline contribution from target accounts Account engagement scores Deal velocity for target accounts Closed revenue from the ABM list Customer retention rates for ABM accounts #### Final Thoughts: ABM for Focused B2B Growth ABM is a powerful strategic choice for B2B organizations aiming to secure high-value deals, cultivate long-term customer relationships, and ensure their sales and marketing efforts are perfectly synchronized and maximally efficient. If your business involves complex sales cycles, high-ticket solutions, or a desire to deepen relationships with key clients, integrating ABM is no longer optional—it's essential for sustained growth.
