As an ‘external’ marketer, I have to say that I hadn’t given much thought to internal marketing until I started writing this article. My first thought was … that’s not my job. But the more I dug into the subject, I realized that’s not entirely true.

She doesn’t think SEO is going anywhere. “I remember when people were saying up to 50% of queries were going to be handled by voice assistants. The SEO industry was in a tizzy over it,” she told me with a laugh. “And the only thing I ask my Alexa for is the weather. So I wouldn’t write [Google] off.” She’s also HubSpot’s senior […]
Bodega’s Matt Zaremba on How to Avoid Empty Calorie Marketing
Art and marketing are made for each other, and this week’s master proves that. He’s done collabs with brands like Nike, Heineken, Crocs, and the NBA … But it’s not all about advertising.

If you’re like me, you only open a small fraction of the (dozens? hundreds?) email newsletters you’ve subscribed to. So I set out to find what those really good newsletters, the ones you open on the regular, have in common.

How Content Audits Help The HubSpot Blog Age Backwards — A Peek Into Our Process
In 2023, my team and I began working on perhaps one of the most ambitious content audits ever conducted on the HubSpot Blog. We’ve run content audits in the past — but not like this. We ran the audit in three phases: Phase 1 addressed our oldest content. Phase 2 evaluated our lowest-performing content. Phase 3 assessed the value of our topic clusters. When it was all said and done, we audited over 10,000 blog post URLs and over 450 topic clusters. In this post, I’m going to focus on phase one of our audit. I’ll walk you through how […]
