Account-Based Marketing
The ABM category shows clear tier separation: Demandbase and Salesforce dominate buyer consideration at 68% shortlist rates with maximum model diversity (4), signaling broad AI consensus on their capabilities. ZoomInfo follows at 54%, leveraging its data foundation for account targeting. Traditional marketing automation platforms Marketo (52%) and Pardot (49%) maintain relevance by extending into ABM, though their lower rates suggest they're not purpose-built leaders. Intent data specialists Bombora (33%) and enrichment player Clearbit (31%) occupy supporting roles rather than platform positions.
