Google My Business Guide: Complete Overview & Expert Tips for 2025
If you’re just getting started with local SEO, this Google My Business guide is the perfect spot to kick things off. Even though GMB looks simple and pretty intuitive, there are a lot of things to pay attention to. You’ll really benefit from it only if your listing is set up right. Remember — when people search for a product or service near them, they’re usually very close to making a purchase. One in two people who conduct a local search (think “watch repair near me”) visit a store that day. So it’s important the information about your business that […]

My Comprehensive Guide to Micro-Influencer Marketing
I recently purchased an adorable cable-knit sweater on TikTok Shop merely because I saw an influencer post about it. The pull influencers of all followings have on social media users today is strong. After all, 63% of consumers will likely buy products promoted by an influencer they trust. In my role at Nickelodeon, I work in international influencer marketing, so I know how crucial an influencer strategy is to brands of all sizes. However, we don’t always have the budget to hire the biggest influencers in the game. Enter micro-influencers. In this guide, I’ll tell you everything you need to […]
The Ultimate Guide to Statements of Work — Here’s Everything I Know
I have been freelancing for nearly 6 years now (gosh, time flies). Initially I didn’t formalize my agreements with clients — no signed documents or contracts. But as I gained more experience, I realized that if I wanted to grow my business I had to set ground rules and put them in writing. Once I introduced contracts, which included a statement of work, working with clients became much easier. There is something about contracts that encourages (most) people to follow the rules. The more work you take on, the more important it is to organize it properly. Trust me, scaling […]
The Startup Distribution Engine: Why You Need One and How to Build It
As a startup founder or marketing leader, you’ve likely heard the mantra “distribution is everything.” But what does that really mean, and how do you put it into practice? Building a great product is hard, but it’s only half the battle. The real challenge is getting that product in front of the right customers — repeatedly, and at scale. For most startups, this is where things fall apart. In my experience, many founders either get stuck trying to sell to fewer customers at a higher price or chase thousands of lower-priced customers. As a result, they end up stretching their […]
21 Creative Lead Generation Ideas to Try (& Why Marketers Recommend Them)
Coming up with effective lead generation ideas is tough — and I’m the world’s worst at putting off this aspect of my marketing strategy. Sending cold emails and scraping together lists for lead generation can be difficult because — let‘s face it — often, people don’t want to take the time out of their schedules to talk. What if you could reach your lead generation goals using methods that actually add value for your prospects? And what happens when traditional lead generation methods fall flat due to internal or external circumstances? This lead generation utopia I’m describing is a possibility. […]

From Pretty Logos to Real Impact: How I Shifted My Focus from Visual to Emotional Branding
Welcome to Creator Columns, where we bring expert HubSpot Creator voices to the Blogs that inspire and help you grow better. I never wanted a business that only looked good from the outside. Creating only to satisfy the eyes of onlookers, audiences, and critics would be, and will always be, a waste of my time. Over a decade ago, I walked away from a dull, corporate job because it felt like a trap — a suffocating environment designed to put me on a creatively draining conveyor belt headed for “Welcome to 65 and retirement!” Frankly, that wasn’t for me. I […]
Optimizing B2B Conversion Rates — All My Tips and Strategies
One of my favorite things to do is watch college football. And if you think I’m going to compare optimizing B2B conversion rates to football, you’re absolutely right. Just like each player of the team needs to work together to score a touchdown, the parts of your B2B conversion strategy need to work in harmony to catch website visitors and turn them into paying customers. If there’s a weak link in your strategy (like a player on the team not performing at their best), you’ll need to tweak it or pull it from the roster. For this post, I sat […]
10 Best Event Registration Software Tools [+ What Makes Them Great]
I won’t pretend I’m an event marketer. But my mom has been a director of special events for over 20 years (shoutout to her), so I completely understand the importance of good event registration tools. I’ve heard her rattle off the many tasks that need to be completed before, during, and after an event. And she comes from a small team, so it’s very easy for things to feel overwhelming … and quickly. So, I did two things: 1) I sat down with my event pro of a mom to talk about her favorite event registration software, and 2) I […]
