GUIDE

Your ultimate guide to HubSpot Marketing Hub

With HubSpot Marketing Hub all your marketing tools and data are on one easy-to-use, powerful platform. Learn what the benefits are.

Make your marketing more efficient

HubSpot Marketing Hub is marketing software to help you attract the right audience, convert more visitors into customers, and run complete marketing campaigns at scale.

Competition for consumer attention is fierce

Marketing can potentially be a key growth accelerator for businesses – when done well. To be successful, you need to know the ingredients: attract the right buyer personas at the right touchpoints throughout the customer journey, crafting messages that both catch the attention and convince the potential buyer. When at the same time, the buyer's journey has become more and more complex; it is difficult to know whom to target, with what, and when.

Back in the day, you had enough if your marketing tech stack allowed you to collect visitor data with a form, automate some follow-up emails and see reports of how your website traffic is growing.

Today, you need to be able to create personalized, right-timed, and engaging customer experiences at scale. To connect with customers — at the right time, in the right place, with the right message — you need a new way to think about how your customer and marketing engagement data interact.

Gaps in marketing data lead to bad decisions

But, marketers tend to lack complete visibility into the customer journey. If you need to switch between multiple tools, alignment on goals becomes difficult, and effective execution is near impossible. Most importantly, marketers don’t have a single source of truth and a unified view of customer data. Disparate systems create information silos.

Reporting and insight enable data-driven decisions and iterative learning. With all your marketing tools at the same place, every interaction can be tied to actual revenue. You have a powerful reporting engine within HubSpot Marketing Hub that is intuitive enough to empower everyone on your team to unlock the insights they need to do smarter, data-backed decisions.

Omni-channel marketing automation

Omni-channel automation in Marketing Hub provides you the tools to architect highly personalized marketing campaigns in many channels.

Marketing automation refers to marketing efforts and tasks that have been automated using software. These efforts or tasks are typically triggered by some kind of consumer action, like subscribing to a blog, filling out a form, or making a purchase. Marketing automation aims to automate otherwise manual marketing tasks. Some common examples include sending emails, posting organic social media messages, and collecting information.

The first thing the term marketing automation probably brings to mind is email marketing automation. Typical examples include welcome emails, post-purchase emails, re-engagement emails, and so on.

In HubSpot Marketing Hub, the possibilities to utilize automation exceed email marketing.

Let’s explore some examples.

Post content to social media

Marketing Hub allows you to schedule and publish content to social media, set monitoring filters and even automate response process.

Use automation with ads

You can automate an ad sequence on Facebook. Target a large audience for awareness-stage ads, and use engagement data to drive consideration and decision phase ads.

Use the tools within Marketing Hub to approach behavioral targeting and use the available rich enrollment criteria such as lists and site visits to display contextual ads based on customer behavior.

The classic: email-automation

Use time-based or action-based criteria to launch e-mail automation. Time-based criteria could be, for example, an automation flow reminding customers of an upcoming webinar. An action-based workflow could trigger an email flow if a contact, for example, downloads content or subscribes to a newsletter.

Internal actions

Use automation to update a customer property or to notify your team or sales. This could, for example, be updating the customer life cycle stage based on an action or setting up a task for a sales rep to call a contact.

Tech stack

Could you save money and be more efficient by rationalizing your marketing tech stack?

Marketers use dozens of different apps and tools every day to do their job. But, is more always more, or could you do better with less?

It's so easy to adopt new marketing tools and SaaS solutions that sometimes we forget to think about how the new shiny thing fits into the big picture. Over time you might risk ending up in app chaos with overlapping tools and technologies. With all these different tools and apps, it becomes difficult to see the overall performance, get reliable data, and make smart decisions.
