Account-Based Marketing
The ABM category shows strong consensus around platform selection, with 47 brands considered but only 12 advancing to evaluation—suggesting buyers quickly narrow choices based on integration capabilities and data quality. Top performers (Demandbase, HubSpot, ZoomInfo, Marketo) all achieve 4-model diversity, indicating they serve varied buyer profiles from enterprise to mid-market. The 68% shortlist rate ceiling suggests no single vendor dominates, forcing buyers to weigh trade-offs between specialized ABM features versus marketing automation breadth.
