Episode description:

On today’s episode of Unicorny, Dom is joined by co-host Chris Willocks, Strategy Director for Digital Radish, to interview Neil Berry - former Global Head of Deal and Account Based Marketing for ATOS, about the difficulties of scaling account based marketing.

In their conversation, the team ask Neil what enterprise’s biggest challenges are when scaling ABM and why failure is an important part of being a marketer. Neil explains why ATOS is changing its strategy to be more specialist - and how that’s helped their marketing team. Neil also outlines why one-to-few ABM is the perfect testbed for personalisation and the team debate whether ABM will exist in the future as a role.
