The biggest problem with most ABM programs isn't execution, it's that they try to personalize at scale before they truly understand their buyers.

Everyone wants the results of account-based marketing. Few organizations build the foundation required to make it work.

In this episode, Carolyn sits down with Steve Armenti, former ABM leader at Google and founder of Twelfth Agency, to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions in modern B2B marketing.

Together they explore why high-volume personalization is becoming less effective, why AI can't replace strategy, and why the highest-performing GTM teams build what Steve calls a "market of one", a deep understanding of every target account before scaling outreach.

You'll learn:

Why most ABM programs never create real demand
The hidden flaw in high-volume personalization
Why AI amplifies strategy instead of replacing it
How leading GTM teams build a 360° account view
The "market of one" framework for modern B2B growth

If your ABM strategy isn't producing the pipeline you expected, this episode may change what you believe the real problem is.
