In this episode of Branding the Beltway, host Stacey Piper sits down with Allan Rubin, Vice President of Segment Marketing at Granicus, to unpack Account-Based Marketing (ABM) in the government contracting space. From the macro strategy that aligns marketing, sales, and business development, to the micro-level execution that targets high-value accounts, their discussion explores how ABM can help government contractors focus resources, segment messaging, boost engagement, and win “must-have” contracts—even in an era of shrinking budgets and shifting priorities.
Discover how to structure ABM into one-to-one, one-to-few, and one-to-many tiers with practical advice on identifying and prioritizing accounts that can make or break a contractor’s year. Learn the process of building buyer personas and tailoring campaigns to specific agency pain points, and why starting small, piloting, and then scaling is a pragmatic way to implement ABM without huge budgets or discarding existing marketing efforts.
