ABM messaging that delivered 2× target

A global technology platform was selling into large enterprises with long buying cycles and multiple stakeholders. The same product story needed to land differently with senior decision-makers, functional buyers and end-user champions. It didn't, until it did....

The ABM programme's sales target, delivered while producing reusable messaging and campaign frameworks for future initiatives.

The problem

Enterprise sales rarely involves one buyer. A platform selling into large organisations is really selling to three overlapping audiences at once: senior decision-makers who care about risk and ROI, functional buyers who care about how it fits their existing workflow, and end-user champions who have to live with the tool day to day.

Most ABM programmes solve this by writing three completely separate campaigns, which is expensive, slow, and often means the story falls apart the moment someone from one audience talks to someone from another. The brief here was to keep one coherent product story while making it land with genuine relevance for each of the three groups.

What I did

Worked as copy lead across multi-channel ABM programmes built around specific accounts, audiences and buying priorities, rather than a single generic campaign rolled out everywhere.

  • Partnered closely with product and sales teams to identify ICP pain points and develop relevant vertical-specific messaging
  • Turned that research into account narratives, role-based value propositions and conversion copy
  • Wrote across every touchpoint in the programme: email, CRM, landing pages, paid media, social and content offers
  • Connected every touchpoint through a clear, consistent core story, so the messaging never contradicted itself as a prospect moved between channels or spoke to colleagues

What changed

The ABM programmes delivered 2× their target. Just as importantly, the work didn't disappear after the campaign ended. It created messaging and campaign frameworks that could be reused across future initiatives, meaning the value of the initial work compounded rather than needing to be rebuilt from scratch every time a new campaign launched.

The role-based value proposition structure in particular became a template the wider marketing team kept coming back to for other account-based work, because it solved a problem most ABM programmes never quite crack: sounding relevant to three different people without sounding like three different companies.

Questions about this project

How do you write ABM messaging for multiple buyer types without diluting the story?

By building one core narrative first, then adapting emphasis and language for each role rather than writing separate messages from scratch. The senior decision-maker version and the end-user version should feel like they're describing the same thing from two angles, not two different products.

What channels did this ABM programme cover?

Email, CRM sequences, landing pages, paid media, social and content offers, all connected through the same account narratives and role-based value propositions so the story stayed consistent regardless of which touchpoint a prospect encountered first.

Why did the messaging frameworks get reused for future campaigns?

Because they were built around durable buying priorities and role-based logic rather than a single campaign's specific offer. That meant the underlying structure: how to talk to a decision-maker versus a functional buyer versus an end-user champion, all stayed relevant long after the original campaign ended.

Selling to multiple stakeholders and it shows?

If your messaging fragments the moment different buyers compare notes, let's fix that.
