In today’s competitive B2B landscape, simply waiting for customers to find your content isn’t enough. Modern B2B buyers are independent and digitally savvy, spending about 27% of their time researching online.
More online research behavior puts pressure on marketers to meet audiences where they are with tailored messaging and experiences that cater to their unique pain points and concerns. ABM helps achieve this shift, enabling you to identify and prioritize high-value in-market accounts and surround buying committee members with personalized experiences that resonate with their needs across the channels they frequent the most.
The days of relying on a single-channel approach are over—to succeed in this environment, embracing a multi-channel strategy to gather leads through multiple publishers is essential.
Executing this approach unlocks the Network Effect in ABM. The more diverse the channels your content appears in, the more effective you become at reaching a variety of in-market accounts. Your campaigns boost engagement and create more optimization opportunities.
In this article, we will explore why harnessing the Network Effect through multi-publisher and multi-channel engagement is the key to successful ABM and how to choose an ABM partner that prioritizes lead transparency and hygiene for the best return on investment (ROI).
In simple terms, the Network Effect occurs when the value of a product or service increases as more people use it. In the context of ABM, you can apply this principle to leads. The value of your leads increases as more accounts and buying group members encounter your content and messaging.
Unlocking the Network Effect in ABM with a multi-publisher and multi-channel strategy involves:
To harness the full potential of the Network Effect, it’s important to address obstacles that can hinder your ABM success.

Traditionally, the unclear lead generation process results from partners not revealing their approach and how they ensured a GDPR-compliant verification process. Problems from this approach include irrelevant leads that don’t align with your ideal customer profile, outdated information, and difficulties following data and privacy regulations, leading to significant setbacks.
Engaging the wrong audiences can frustrate your sales team, leading to wasted time spent in conversations and questions about how marketing fuels their opportunity pipeline. The problem also results in ineffective marketing spend on lead generation efforts and decreased ROI.
Lead transparency is essential in effective ABM because it:
