This is a podcast episode titled, ICP First: Email, Geo-Targeted Ads, and Events That Move Deals (with Nick Clark from Basis Technologies) | Ep. 219. The summary for this episode is: <p>Scrappy ABM brings a practical playbook that doesn’t break the bank as host <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/masoncosby/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mason Cosby</a> sits down with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-c-b612a272/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nick Clark</a> to focus on the workflow side of operationalizing an ABM program. The conversation centers on program orchestration—who reaches out at what time with what thing and why—and the underestimated scope of the work. You’ll hear how ICP accounts shape targeting, how a documented workflow in Asana creates a white-glove ABM ecosystem with unique landing pages, forms, completion actions, targeted display ads, and curated email drips, and why starting simple proved out the path to a 24-email segmentation. The discussion gets specific on channel mix, geo-targeted ads around events, QR codes and vanity URLs in Ubers and Lyfts, alignment with sales, and measurement across Account Engagement (Pardot), Salesforce, and performance reports in Six Sense to see ICP accounts move through deeper stages faster.</p><p>ㅤ</p><h1>👤 Guest Bio</h1><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-c-b612a272/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nick Clark</a> is the Marketing Automations Director at Basis Technologies.
