Objective :
KeyReply was looking to build its presence and expand its sales pipeline in the GCC and SEA countries region. On behalf of Smarketers, I suggested them to execute 1: few ABM programs with a specific focus on target accounts.
Challenges :
Since the company’s offering is unique and one of its kind in the healthcare industry, the two significant challenges we faced are:
-
Defining the right buyer persona and building a contact base in target countries where data mining is a huge challenge.
-
Selecting the right channel and messaging for each targeted persona.
As part of a long-term ABM campaign to generate MQLs and engage high-value clients, we employed a hybrid approach, blending Demand Gen and ABM activities. This involved essential research (Regional Competitor Analysis, Industry Research, Content Analysis, Solution Mapping, Contact Database Generation and Segmentation, Messaging Framework). A multi-channel campaign followed, including Targeted LinkedIn ads for 1: few accounts, programmatic ads for 1:1 accounts, drip emails, LinkedIn InMail, and social outreach. Optimization based on performance, lead scoring, and HubSpot for marketing automation were key elements.
Results :
-
With successful 1: few ABM campaigns run to generate prospective leads in APAC and MEA, we generated 100+ MQLs over the 6 months.
-
The average CPL decreased significantly from $75 to $51.86.
-
The client witnessed an increase in CTR from 2% to 4.43%.
