ABM Success in Life Sciences: Vertically Targeted Outreach for Mid-Market Growth
In a complex and data-driven industry, life sciences companies need more than just technology—they need strategic data integration solutions. This case study reveals how we crafted a precise, persona-driven marketing strategy to connect with mid-market life sciences organizations, addressing their most critical data challenges through targeted, intelligent outreach.
Challenge
A data integration company sought to expand its footprint in the life sciences vertical by developing a strategic account-based marketing (ABM) campaign. The goal was to create meaningful sales opportunities with mid-market to small enterprise life sciences companies in the United States.
Strategic Approach
The company leveraged ZoomInfo to identify and narrow a target account list, focusing on organizations showing specific buying signals such as new executive appointments, leadership changes, and recent funding news. The initial approach concentrated on assigning 100 accounts to each SDR, with plans for future expansion.
A comprehensive set of targeted assets was developed to support the campaign, including a white paper on real-time data solutions, an anonymized customer case study, a vertical-specific website page, a thought leadership webinar, and a solution brief addressing key industry challenges like real-time data streaming and data privacy.
Messaging Strategy
The campaign's messaging was carefully crafted to address different personas within target organizations. Technical users, non-technical stakeholders, and economic decision-makers received tailored communications highlighting the company's existing life sciences customer success stories and the platform's ability to solve critical data integration challenges.
Multichannel distribution included:
Dedicated website content
Social media promotion
Outbound email and call sequences
Paid email campaigns driving webinar registrations
Targeted outreach through industry trade publications
Results and Impact
The campaign demonstrated significant potential for penetrating the life sciences market. While still in progress, the early approach showed promise in creating efficient pathways for SDR engagement and opportunity generation.
Key outcomes included:
Precise targeting of high-potential life sciences accounts
Development of persona-specific messaging
Creation of comprehensive, vertical-specific marketing assets
Establishment of a systematic approach to market penetration
Conclusion
By developing a carefully researched and executed ABM strategy, the data integration company positioned itself as a strategic partner for life sciences organizations seeking advanced data integration solutions.
