Most brands are running marketing strategies built for a world that no longer exists. We all want to create a movement, capture demand at scale, and dominate a market. But how do we do that today?
For most marketers, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is the gold standard: highly targeted, sales-aligned, and built to close high-value accounts. Then you have Market-Based Marketing (MBM), which expands the lens to broader demand capture, category creation, and positioning at scale. But the REAL power shift to consider? Let me introduce you to Community-Based Marketing (CBM). CBM isn’t just about audience segmentation; it’s about integration.
ABM is transactional at its core. It’s focused on getting the deal, not necessarily building a lasting relationship. And in a world where trust is the currency, ABM alone isn’t enough. MBM is noisy. It requires a massive investment in awareness, content, and brand positioning. And in today’s world of oversaturated content, it’s harder than ever to cut through. CBM is about embedding your brand into the daily lives of the people who actually matter.
With ABM, you’re pitching from the outside. With MBM, you’re broadcasting to the masses. But with CBM, you’re technically already in the room.
Instead of hoping they see your ad, you’re in their inbox. Instead of forcing them to book a demo, they’re asking you for a call. Instead of convincing them to trust you, they’re defending your brand against competitors. Doesn't that sound amazing? Well trust me it is possible by recalibrating Account-Based Marketing and Market-Based Marketing with Community-Based Marketing that aligns with Value-Based Marketing, turning your community into your growth engine: generating organic conversations, referrals, and loyalty that no ad spend can replicate.
