Brief

Success was simple (and high stakes):

  • Generate qualified demo meetings from named Tier-1 accounts
  • Influence real, sales-accepted enterprise pipeline
  • Lower CPL while improving lead quality
  • Build an ABM motion the sales and exec teams could trust

This started as a 3-month pilot. Expansion depended entirely on performance.

Launched AudioCodes’ first ABM motion that actually worked

Drove meaningful US brand awareness lift across Tier-1 accounts

01

Challenge

01

Tier-1 Accounts, Untrustworthy Pipeline

AudioCodes didn’t lack ambition—or a target list.

They had a clearly defined Tier-1 account list in the US market, but struggled to turn those accounts into:

  • Qualified demo meetings
  • Predictable pipeline
  • Sales confidence in marketing-sourced demand

Brand awareness in the US was soft, pipeline forecasts weren’t reliable, and previous attempts at ABM had failed—leading to internal skepticism about whether ABM could work at all.

Marketing activity existed. Results didn’t.

Strategy

02

Real ABM, Not “ABM-Flavored Demand Gen

The turning point was admitting the obvious:

What AudioCodes had tried before wasn’t ABM—it was broad demand gen with better targeting.

We rebuilt the motion from the ground up:

Named Accounts First. Always.

We shifted completely from broad audience targeting to strict, named-account ABM, aligning media, messaging, and measurement around the accounts sales actually cared about.

Persona-Level Targeting with Influ2

Using Influ2, we targeted specific buying personas inside specific Tier-1 accounts, ensuring ads reached real decision-makers—not just relevant job titles.

Creative That Spoke Like a Buyer (Not an Engineer)

Previous creative was technically accurate—and totally ineffective.

We reframed everything:

  • From featuresbusiness problems
  • From technical depth → clear, relatable pain
  • From stiff enterprise messaging → laid-back, human, and engaging

Once the message clicked, performance followed.

All optimized for demos—not vanity metrics.

The Aha! Moment

ABM didn’t fail AudioCodes before.
Bad ABM did.

Once the team experienced a true named-account strategy—paired with buyer-first creative—the skepticism disappeared. Sales engagement increased, pipeline became credible, and executive buy-in followed quickly.

From there, expansion was easy:

  • Larger budgets approved
  • Regions expanded
  • ABM became a core GTM pillar
