16 of the Best Account-based Marketing Software for 2024

Are you in the market for your new account-based marketing (ABM) software?

If so, then you've come to the right place.

Account-based marketing means catering your message to the top decision-makers for target accounts with a blend of marketing of sales tactics — it's a strategy that targets companies, rather than individual customers.

As HubSpot's Senior Manager (Accelerated Leadership Program), Ryan Batter states, "The beauty of using an ABM strategy is that it’s customizable to a team’s readiness and budget. Look for a CRM that enables strong integrations to ABM-specific tools to customize your strategy."

With that in mind, let's look at account-based marketing software.

Additionally, you can import a spreadsheet of your target accounts. This can also be done manually.

HubSpot's software helps you identify challenges of prospects so you can personalize specific marketing messages to attract them. You can also use Marketing Hub tools, such as ads, web pages, and social media posts, to market to your customers and make your campaign successful.
