How Does Marketo Support ABM Personalization?
Marketo Engage operationalizes account-based marketing by unifying account and person data, activating Smart Lists & Dynamic Content, and orchestrating multi-channel experiences that adapt to buying roles, intent, and stage—at scale.
Marketo powers ABM personalization by aligning accounts, buying committees, and intent signals to targeted experiences. Teams use Account Smart Lists, ABM filters, and dynamic content tokens to tailor messages by industry, role, and stage—then trigger cross-channel plays (email, web, ads, sales alerts) and measure account engagement, pipeline influence, and revenue.
