A great post by Brian Halligan at HubSpot, on a dinner he had with a group of Madison Avenue folks , got me thinking about some possible futures for Television. Contrary to the prevailing wisdom, I don't think that Television is about to suffer the same fate as newspapers as information becomes free. Here's why - we're lazy. I recently watched some Olympics coverage, and was impressed with the seamless flow back and forth from the events that were being shown to a physiologist talking about the effect on the human body of the snowboard half-pipe, to a profile of one of the upcoming

believe that if studies like HubSpot’s The State of Inbound Marketing 2010 , instead of categorizing all inbound inquiries or responses as “leads,” rather talked about a lower cost per “prospect” from inbound than from outbound marketing, the results would be a more accurate reflection of reality.

The Best from the B2B Marketing Community

HubSpot is a stellar example of how a small business can excel in social media marketing and in the process, attract $17 million in venture capital for a social media and online marketing solution ( read more on why small business succeeds with social media ). Mike started off our discussion by observing that most marketers believe that social media is only suitable for
Summary: Hubspot offers a bundle of Web traffic generation and lead management features in one low-cost package. That would greatly limit the marketing automation vendors' business. Hubspot has accepted this challenge. Although Hubspot positions itself as an “inbound marketing system,” it actually does more than the search engine optimization, blogging, social media interactions and related analytics needed to generate Web traffic. Small businesses willing to invest some effort should be pleased with the results. Yesterday’s post described one strategy to sell marketing automation to small businesses: provide a specific, turnkey service that requires virtually no skill or effort from the user.
Along the way we started drinking some Orange Kool-Aid in the form of Hubspot's inbound marketing educational materials . We weren't looking for a content management system at the time, but they had so many valuable pieces of content on their site that we soon became Hubspot junkies without even being a client. Here's the process we went through; I recommend you pay attention to the "homework" parts: Pre-Project Education -- We went through all About 18 months ago, Green Leads embarked on an aggressive plan to increase our inbound marketing activity. We focused first on content
Hubspot - an early Inbound Marketing evangelist - is one of them, and so are Enquisite , Raven and SEOMoz (probably I’m forgetting at least a dozen vendors, so feel free to leave a comment). But there are also integrated tool suites, like Hubspot and Raven. It is Hubspot: they’re quietly adding Lead Management features to their Inbound Marketing suite. The Marketing Automation industry is evolving continuously. Many digital marketers are using marketing automation tools to automate lead nurturing.
HubSpot has done an excellent job at setting up their own group, moderating the group and finding synergy with their Facebook presence as well.    4ijcqp    technorati tags: B2B Business-to-business BtoB Brand Community Facebook Gooruze HubSpot Jeremiah Owyang LinkedIn LinkedIn Answers Marketing MySpace PR Public Relations Social Media del.icio.us tags: B2B     This is the third post in a 6 part series on how I use social media for my day-to-day job.   To summarize, my company seeks to reach business-to-business

Late last year, I sat in on a couple of social media marketing webinars from two of the best: Rick Burnes , Marketing Manager at HubSpot , and Chris Abraham of Abraham Harrison , along with Sally Falkow of Expansion Plus .

This post will review recommendations from Rick Burnes, while a follow-up post will present ideas from Chris and Sally. According to Rick, inbound marketing is
