Account-based marketing (ABM) is the hottest topic in B2B marketing. While the hype around ABM can seem overwhelming, in reality, less than 20% of companies are running mature account based marketing programs. Marketers name various obstacles when it comes to getting started, including lack of resources, strategy, and technology.

Account-Based Technology is a market that has grown significantly in the past two years. Marketers are planning to broadly adopt data and technology tools that support Account-Based, and for good reason: today’s solutions are making Account-Based more scalable than ever before. Yet many marketing organizations are still in the early stages of their Account-Based journey. Check out the latest research on marketing technology stacks of high-growth companies.
