4 marketing takeaways from Taylor Swift
Perhaps you’ve heard that Taylor Swift recently released a new album, The Life of a Showgirl. Not only did the full-length smash sales records, but it also spawned endless musical analysis (Who exactly is “Father Figure” about?) and viral moments (Is the mystery of the orange door actually solved?).

Generative AI tools every marketing team should use
When I first started at HubSpot, I needed a new headshot fast. So, I turned to generative AI tools — and no one had any idea, at least not initially. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, generative AI tools are impressive. From text and data analysis to uncanny photos and celebrity videos, AI’s ability to imitate human voices and forms has improved dramatically in the past year. While they raise a lot of ethical questions, they can also help increase productivity and amplify marketing results when used strategically.
