Although account-based marketing (ABM) is increasingly popular in APAC, it can be challenging if practitioners simply replicate an approach used in another region.

It identified clear goals for top accounts aimed at demonstrating best-in-class customer experience and technology leadership, and then securing transformational deals. In this case study, we describe VMware’s approach to identifying and engaging accounts in APAC and the results that these efforts delivered.
