ABM that starts with clarity, not guesswork

Account-Based Marketing is a proven route to influence high-value accounts — but it only works if the foundations are strong. Our ABM Audit gives you a clear, objective view of whether your organisation is ready to run ABM effectively, or if your current programme is set up to deliver measurable growth.

We examine three critical areas:

  • Account selection: Are you targeting the right accounts with the right intent signals? Do they match your ideal profile and offer meaningful growth potential?
  • Alignment and process: Are sales and marketing working together, sharing data, and clear on how success will be measured?
  • Messaging and measurement: Is your content sharp enough to cut through with buying committees, and do you have the right systems in place to prove influence on pipeline and revenue?

Where you’re already running ABM, we audit performance inside the platforms you use — whether Salesforce, Pardot, Marketo, HubSpot or others. We look at data quality, campaign structure, tracking, and reporting to highlight what’s working, what isn’t, and what to fix.

The output is a straightforward, evidence-based view of your ABM readiness or performance. You’ll see exactly where to invest, where to refine, and how to build an ABM strategy that scales. For boards, it provides confidence that investment is well placed; for marketing teams, it creates a clear roadmap for targeting and engaging the accounts that matter most.

Why an Audit Matters

Account-Based Marketing can be one of the most effective ways to influence high-value investors and institutions. But too often ABM programmes stall — targeting the wrong accounts, running on patchy data, or struggling to prove impact. An audit removes the guesswork. It gives boards confidence that ABM spend is justified, and marketing teams a clear blueprint for targeting and engaging the accounts that matter most.

Account-Based Marketing Audit Benefits

  • Clarity on ABM readiness and performance.
  • Evidence to justify investment to boards and leadership teams.
  • Sharper account targeting and campaign execution.
  • Stronger alignment between marketing and sales.
  • Confidence that platforms and reporting are set up to prove impact on pipeline and revenue.

Built for Asset Managers and Investment Trusts

ABM in asset management isn’t like ABM in tech or SaaS. You’re targeting complex accounts — from platforms and advisers to institutions and consultants — where decisions are made by committees, not individuals. Our audit is designed with this context in mind. It’s built for asset managers and investment trust boards who need to influence high-value accounts with precision and prove the return on every pound spent.

FAQs

1

Why would we need an ABM audit? Isn’t ABM just about targeting the right accounts?

ABM is powerful — but only when its foundations are solid. Many ABM programmes underperform because of:

  • Poor account selection
  • Misalignment between sales and marketing
  • Ineffective content or unclear measurement

Our audit helps you identify exactly where those gaps exist and what to fix. Whether you’re just starting ABM or running a mature programme, the audit provides the clarity, evidence, and direction needed to scale ABM effectively and prove ROI.

2

What areas of our ABM programme do you evaluate?

We focus on four essential pillars:

  • Account Selection – Are you targeting accounts that match your ideal client profile and show real buying intent?
  • Sales & Marketing Alignment – Are both teams aligned on goals, roles, and success metrics?
  • Messaging & Content – Is your messaging resonating with complex buying committees?
  • Technology & Measurement – Are your platforms (Salesforce, Pardot, Marketo, HubSpot, etc.) set up to track influence, pipeline, and revenue?

We already have an ABM programme — is the audit still relevant?

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us with ABM programmes already in place, but lacking:

  • Consistency in execution
  • Proof of measurable impact
  • Clear prioritisation of high-value accounts

Our audit provides an objective review of what’s working, what’s not, and where improvements will make the biggest difference. It’s about getting your programme from good to great.

What if we’re just starting with ABM?

Then the audit is the perfect place to start. It will help you:

  • Confirm your ABM readiness
  • Select the right accounts
  • Align internal teams
  • Establish a strong measurement framework

This saves you time and avoids costly missteps down the line.

5

How will this help us justify ABM investment to leadership or the board?

The audit provides evidence-based insight — not just opinions. You’ll be able to show:

  • Where ABM is delivering measurable value
  • Where investments are falling short
  • What steps are needed to improve impact

This gives board members and leadership teams the confidence that your ABM spend is strategic and well justified.
