An experience built around the change you want

An account-based experience gives the people in a priority account a reason to reconsider, respond or engage. It might help reopen a conversation, change a perception or build a stronger relationship ahead of a future opportunity.

We bring account research, creative development and production together to shape that experience around the people you want to reach. Here is how the thinking develops, from understanding the account to planning what happens next.

Understand the account and the people within it

Personalisation starts with understanding the world your audience works in. We combine research with the knowledge held by your Sales, Marketing and account teams to understand the account, the people you want to engage and what matters to them.

Culture, language, timing and relationships are just some of the things that can shape what people find relevant, credible or engaging. Even a shared business priority can mean something different to each stakeholder. Discovery is about recognising those nuances and making connections that help the experience feel familiar, thoughtful and relevant.

Research can also uncover something that changes our recommendation. When it does, we share what we have learned, explain why it matters and work through the implications with you, so you can see the reasoning behind the proposed approach.

Account research is the foundation of everything that follows. It shapes the creative concept, the experience and the relationship journey. Every recommendation needs an informed reason behind it.

Get clear on the change you want to create

Many clients come to us with a clear idea of what they want to change. Common examples include:

  • Being considered for opportunities where a competitor currently has the advantage.
  • Rebuilding visibility or trust within an important department.
  • Gaining time with people who are difficult to reach, including when procurement limits direct access.
  • Deepening engagement in a valuable account ahead of a larger proposal.

These are just starting points. We work with you to understand your particular situation, who needs to be involved and what you want the experience to achieve. That gives the creative work a clear purpose.

How we develop a creative concept grounded in account insight

The creative concept is the central idea that connects the experience. We develop the core message, narrative, tone of voice and visual direction around what we know about the account and the response you want to encourage. Together, these form a creative wrapper that makes every interaction feel part of the same story.

We use account insight to assess and compare creative options through concept scoring. The criteria reflect the particular brief: how well an idea fits the account, what it communicates to the people involved and how it supports the change you want. This gives us a clear basis for discussing the options with you and explaining our recommendations.

Creative judgement brings those findings together. We look for an idea that feels insightful and personal, with enough originality to make people reconsider what they think they know about your business.

Campaign evidenceAccount insight in practice

In one engagement, deep account research revealed a business with a distinctive personality and an intelligent, light-hearted sense of humour. Understanding that culture gave us a strong foundation for the creative approach.

We developed a campaign around that humour, designed to feel natural and familiar to the target account while showing a more playful side of our client. The personalisation ran through the idea, language and character of the whole experience.

The creative direction grew directly from what we had learned about the business. That depth of account insight gave the creative choice its purpose.

How we choose an experience that fits the people

The experience is where the creative idea becomes something people can take part in, learn from or respond to. Choosing it deserves the same depth of research and imagination as developing the concept itself.

We look for a meaningful connection between the people you want to engage, the change you want to create and what the experience could offer them. That might come from a shared interest, a professional ambition, a business challenge or something unexpected uncovered through discovery. The value to those taking part matters as much as the opportunity it creates for you.

From there, we explore what would make the experience compelling, appropriate and possible for those people. Personal relevance, culture, accessibility and the demands on their time can all influence the choice. The account insight gives us direction while leaving room to create something distinctive.

The result is an experience designed around the account, with a clear reason for its form and for every detail within it. The possibilities remain open until the research, creative idea and relationship goal give us a reason to choose.

How we connect the touchpoints into a relationship journey

We plan how people first discover the experience, how they take part and what happens afterwards. A physical experience might lead to a personalised content hub, giving people more to explore and the account team a relevant starting point for the next conversation.

Earn their attention

Make the first approach feel personal and relevant, with a clear reason to find out more.

Make it worth their time

Give people something worth their time, shaped around what matters to them.

Give the relationship a next step

Build on the shared experience with a relevant next step and someone ready to take it forward.

Each interaction should make the next feel natural. We plan the follow-up as part of the experience, giving your team a shared point of reference and a thoughtful reason to continue the relationship.

How we bring the experience to life

ABM Logic manages the work needed to turn the approved concept into a complete experience. We bring together the people, expertise and resources the idea calls for, taking responsibility for the detail that makes it work.

Production and delivery are shaped by the experience we have designed together. We coordinate the contributors, preparations and practical arrangements around the people taking part, carrying the same creative thinking and account understanding through to execution.

That care extends to how the experience is introduced, how each part connects and how your team continues the relationship afterwards. From the largest creative decision to the smallest personal detail, the aim is to make the whole experience feel considered, coherent and unmistakably relevant.
