SaaS Sessions

In this episode of the SaaS Sessions podcast, we hosted Andy Ramirez, the Senior Vice President of Marketing at Docker to explore the complexities of Account-Based Marketing (ABM) within a Product-Led Growth (PLG) context.
Andy shares his journey from a 'recovering engineer' to a seasoned marketing leader at top companies like AWS, Amazon Prime, Smartsheet, and New Relic.
We discussed the synergies between PLG and ABM, strategies for using first-party and third-party data to target accounts efficiently, and practical advice on tailoring messaging for different buyer personas and stages of the customer journey.
Andy also emphasizes measuring success without overcomplicating analytics and leveraging qualitative feedback from sales teams to refine marketing campaigns.
This episode offers valuable insights for companies looking to integrate ABM within their PLG models.
