Build up ABM success by bringing down the silos

Account-based marketing (ABM), which replaces broad marketing campaigns with laser-focused efforts on key accounts, cannot happen when there’s daylight between sales and marketing.

Even in the days of AI, AI can't deliver the most critical asset you possess - your institutional memory - the why, how, and way you do business.

PR experts are attuned to the momentum of the media. We understand that in order to present a compelling package to any journalist - a story that gets them interested, it takes research beyond just what AI gives you and requires having all the tools, especially a messaging document and “quotes on demand” – ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.

Even with AI, your company sits on years of proprietary information - product details, customer-focused data, executive expertise - that can be leveraged to generate PR.
