Firebrand, which works with early and late-stage technology startups, launches what it says is an industry first: an integrated Account-Based Marketing and PR service. Account-Based Marketing, in which brands target specific accounts with tailored messaging, content and outreach, is increasingly popular among B2B brands. Firebrand’s Account-Based PR service aims to reinforce ABM efforts with highly targeted PR programming. By combining earned media, events, social media, influencers and paid media, Firebrand says it can help clients “surround” prospective buyers to drive engagement and conversion. The agency has partnerships with leading ABM platform Demandbase and attribution platform Ruler Analytics to plan, execute and measure these campaigns. “Brands are leaping to embrace ABM and comms leaders need to be part of that movement,” said Firebrand CEO Morgan McLintic.
