HubSpot Testimonials
Amy Brierly is a marketing director of a specialist market intelligence, advisory, and events company. They work with thousands of organizations across 52 countries. Before adopting HubSpot, they were using one tool for CRM, another for email marketing, and another for website management. The disconnected tools made it hard for Amy’s team to understand which campaigns worked, which didn’t, and where revenue was coming from. HubSpot provided a CRM, email marketing, CMS, and a sales hub in a single platform. Now, everyone can see the effectiveness of their campaigns and can work more in sync, allowing them to adjust to any changes and demands and keep growing as a company while continuing to serve customers well.
In 2017, Michiel Schouten was the head of marketing of a fast-growing online creative platform. He realized that their current CRM and several disparate tools for marketing automation was not sufficient for their company’s trajectory. After an extensive research and a trial period, they found that HubSpot was the best fit for their needs. They now had a single platform where they could monitor funnel performance, manage hand-over from marketing to sales, understand conversion attribution, and improve insights on various segments. Hubspot continues to provide improved sales and marketing alignment, implement advanced marketing automation, and streamline the company’s sales process.
