# Asymmetric ABM — 100 Personalized Targets

## Overview

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is one of five channels in Asymmetric's go-to-market strategy. Rather than broadcasting to a broad audience, the ABM track selects a focused list of 100 high-value target accounts and builds deeply personalized, multi-channel campaigns for each. The framing used internally is "stop broadcasting, start outmaneuvering."

This approach is positioned as a strategic advantage service offering on the new Asymmetric website — not a tactical execution item — reflecting the broader brand repositioning from commodity digital agency to strategy-first growth consultancy.

## Core Mechanics

### Target Selection

- **Volume:** 100 accounts selected at launch
- **Criteria:** Accounts are scored and prioritized against the primary [[wiki/knowledge/strategy/icp-definitions|ICP]] — mid-market B2B companies ($5M–$75M revenue) that are outgunned in their category
- **Initial verticals:** [[wiki/clients/asymmetric/_index|Asymmetric]]'s first ABM cohorts focus on Environmental Services (hazardous waste, remediation, environmental consultants) and Food & Beverage

### Research & Personalization

Each target account receives deep research before any outreach begins:

- Firmographic profiling (size, revenue band, decision-maker map)
- Competitive gap analysis — where is this account losing ground to better-resourced rivals?
- Personalized campaign assets developed per account, not per segment

### Multi-Channel Coordinated Outreach

Outreach is coordinated across channels rather than siloed:

- **Cold email sequences** — distinct from the broader 37,000-contact cold outreach list; ABM emails are individually tailored
- **LinkedIn / social touchpoints** — organic and paid, aligned to account-specific messaging
- **Content assets** — thought leadership or one-pagers mapped to the account's specific pain point
- **HubSpot ABM infrastructure** — all account activity tracked, sequenced, and reported through HubSpot

## Relationship to the 5-Channel Strategy

ABM is one of five parallel marketing channels being activated simultaneously:

| Channel | Scale | Personalization |
|---|---|---|
| Social Media (organic + paid) | Broad | Low |
| Content Marketing (blogs, thought leadership) | Broad | Low |
| Ads (Google, Bing, Quora, Reddit) | Broad | Medium |
| **ABM** | **100 accounts** | **High** |
| Cold Outreach | 37,000 contacts | Low |

ABM sits at the high-personalization, low-volume end of the spectrum and is expected to generate the highest-quality pipeline conversations, even if volume is lower than cold outreach.

## Infrastructure

- **CRM:** HubSpot, configured with clean segmentation and ABM-specific workflows as of the kickoff meeting
- **Task management:** ClickUp tasks to be created by Karly for vertical-specific landing pages that ABM targets will be directed to
- **Content support:** Evoke is drafting vertical-specific email content for Environmental Services and Food & Beverage cohorts

## Key Decisions (from Kickoff)

- ABM targets will be drawn from the primary ICP (mid-market B2B), not growth-stage tech or e-commerce — those ICPs are secondary focus
- Environmental Services scope was clarified: focus on hazardous waste collection, environmental remediation, and compliance consultants — not broader energy companies
- The 100-target ABM list is separate from the 37,000-contact cold outreach database; the two tracks run in parallel with different messaging and cadence
- HubSpot has been rebuilt and is ready to support ABM sequencing

## Action Items (from Kickoff)

- **Karly** — Create ClickUp tasks for Environmental Services and Food & Beverage landing pages; coordinate with Evoke on vertical-specific content calendar
- **Karly + Evoke** — Finalize email content for Environmental Services ABM cohort (scope: hazardous waste, remediation, environmental consultants — not energy)
- **Mark** — Move all strategy documents (including ICP briefs and value proposition canvas) to the shared Google Drive strategy folder
- **Isalia** — Act as project orchestrator, ensuring ABM messaging aligns with the repositioned brand and value propositions across all workstreams
