Today, we're taking a break from our normally-programmed blog schedule to bring you a holiday message from the LeadG2 and CSS family. Click the link to watch this special message created just for you by our team!

As we've shared here and here, the entire LeadG2 team is currently in Boston at INBOUND, an annual marketing and business conference hosted by HubSpot. Tuesday was opening night kicking us off with a keynote speech from Deepak Chopra, yesterday was day two of sessions and keynotes, and today, we're wrapping up the last day at #INBOUND18. We've put together a few key takeaways that our staff found interesting, inspiring, or helpful from Thursday and Friday's sessions in this post. 

As we previously shared, the entire LeadG2 team is currently in Boston at INBOUND, an annual marketing and business conference hosted by Hubspot. Tuesday was opening night kicking us off with a keynote speech from Deepak Chopra, and yesterday was the first full day of sessions jam-packed with insightful information, industry updates, inspiring messages, and of course all things sales, marketing, and business. We've put together a few key takeaways that our staff found interesting, inspiring, or helpful from Tuesday's sessions in this post. 

It’s Tuesday, and while many of you are slowly starting your week after a long, holiday weekend, our entire team is in Boston for Hubspot's annual INBOUND conference. This year we’ve got 12 of our team members in town to learn and network with some of the industry’s best. At LeadG2, we put a huge focus on continued education and always staying up to date on the latest news, trends, and best practices that will help us service our clients. We’ve even spoken at this conference quite a few times in the past (including Managing Partner, Matt Sunshine, and General Manager, Dani Buckley).

Marketing is notorious for its jargon. And while the terminology itself isn’t necessarily what's important, what you do need to know is how these strategies and tactics can help you. In this post, we’ll explore inbound marketing and lead generation, and what each can do for you.

One of the challenges that exist with staffing agency marketing is that staffing and recruiting agencies exist to serve two masters: the hiring manager of the firm they are filling the job order for and, of course, the candidate. When developing an inbound marketing strategy or content marketing program designed to generate new business for a staffing agency, it’s important to keep these two distinct target personas in mind with everything you do.

One of the more complex factors when marketing a staffing agency is that your potential “buyer” is both employer and candidate facing. Both audiences require separate content, separate marketing workflows, and extremely different sales messages. 

FACT: There are over 3,000 HubSpot partners and four different tiers to choose from! And that’s a lot of companies to sift through when you are looking for the right HubSpot partner agency. 

Without a doubt, one of the very first steps we do when onboarding a new client is ask them what their content inventory is. This inventory acts as an audit of any possible thought leadership that they might have already produced, whether it is printed or a digital version. 

How to Use Your Digital Marketing Budget for More than Lead Generation

Earning your company’s brand - and I do mean earning – is not particularly easy. It requires investments of time and resources. It’s more of a marathon than a sprint. It needs a weave of strategy and tactics. It needs attention, consistency and persistence.
