Edition #42 | Published July 7, 2025

Last week, we explored the invisible 80% of B2B buyers who make decisions long before your reps or ads ever reach them.

This week, we're diving deeper: Once you've captured their attention, how do you remain visible, relevant, and trusted throughout the buyer journey?

The challenge today isn’t just about initial outreach. It's about full-funnel ABM: continuous orchestration, consistently influencing complex buying groups across multiple channels and formats. Leading ABM teams now view influence as an always-on process, rather than a series of isolated “campaigns”.

Let’s talk about it.

🎙 Voices of Influence: Full-Funnel ABM in AI-Led Buying Journey

B2B buying today isn't linear—and it's rarely a one-to-one engagement.

We’re talking about in average 11-person buying committees averaging 17 touch points each, according to leading industry reports. That’s 180+ possible moments of influence per opportunity! Not surprising that many teams feel overwhelmed rather than strategically orchestrated.

The smartest ABM leaders are tacking these with the following strategies:

✅Strategic omnichannel engagement: like coordinated campaigns across email, display, LinkedIn, content syndication, even emerging formats like CTV and audio

✅ Personalized full-funnel nurture: so relevance doesn’t stop after the first “hand raise”

✅ Relevance on demand: adjusting content calendars to match real-time buyer behaviors and emerging market trends using GTM signals

To truly master ABM, you need to close gaps in your nurture strategy, ensuring ongoing relevance and multi-channel personalization that drives urgency and action throughout the buyer journey.

Madison Logic puts it simply:

“It’s not the best content that wins; it’s the most timely, well-distributed content.”

And as Keith Turco, Madison Logic CEO, recently noted on their communications:

“Companies are finally beginning to understand ‘true ABM’ means going beyond lead generation into the full funnel.”

🔦 Case Study:

FireMon’s Amy Yuan and Stephanie Peterson recently shared how they cracked the code to executing automated, personalized multi-channel campaigns in a webinar.

They faced a familiar B2B challenge: how to engage different personas across long sales cycles—without exhausting the team or overwhelming the audience.

By mapping buyer journeys and using dynamic segmentation, they launched automated multi-channel campaigns across display, email, and web. Each message was personalized based on buyer stage and persona—without manual effort.
