The hospitality industry faces a number of obstacles and opportunities in regard to marketing, with one of the greatest puzzles being email marketing.

The presentation has been very well received, with more than 5 million views so far. (Thank you!) HubSpot is growing. We have about 73,400 customers and more than […]

65 Examples of Corporate Business Babble — and What to Say Instead
Business jargon has long dominated corporate conversations, complicating straightforward discussions. My colleague Shannon and I tackled this issue a few years back by creating Business Babble Bingo—a playful yet enlightening game. This game was our subtle rebellion against the meaningless buzzwords dominating meetings, presentations, and websites. But despite the time elapsed, the problem of business jargon still muddles communication. So, this article demystifies a few of the most overused phrases. We’ll replace them with simpler alternatives to determine if you’re an experienced “thought leader” or new to the business world. Embrace this transformation for a definite “win-win” outcome. 65 Examples […]

Influencer-Founded Food and Beverage Brands: Are They Good Business?
I’m writing this while sipping coffee made by Emma Chamberlain’s French press. The 22-year-old YouTuber is not only Gen Z’s favorite influencer, but also a big-time entrepreneur. Her coffee brand, launched in 2020, took off among young coffee lovers (and even tempted me, a not-so-young coffee lover). It got me thinking: Has food and beverage become the new playground for creators and influencers?
