HubSpot for Media Companies

How media organizations use HubSpot to generate qualified leads, manage complex revenue models, and align marketing, sales, and service teams for sustainable growth.


Media companies operate in a fast-changing, revenue-driven environment where advertising sales, sponsorships, digital products, and audience engagement all intersect. Media organizations sell to multiple buyer types, manage long and recurring sales cycles, and often juggle fragmented systems across sales, marketing, and operations. 

LeadG2 helps media companies use HubSpot as a centralized revenue platform — not just a CRM. As a HubSpot Diamond Solutions Partner, LeadG2 works with media organizations to design, implement, and optimize HubSpot around the realities of media sales, marketing, and revenue growth.

Common Marketing & Sales Challenges for Media Companies

How LeadG2 Helps Media Companies Grow Smarter with HubSpot 

LeadG2 partners with media organizations to build HubSpot around how media teams actually sell, market, and manage revenue. Our approach focuses on outcomes, not just technology. 

HubSpot Onboarding & CRM Implementation for Media Companies 

LeadG2 designs and implements HubSpot CRM specifically for media sales models, including:

  • Custom deal stages aligned to advertising and sponsorship sales cycles
  • CRM structures that support multiple products and revenue streams
  • Scalable architecture built to support long-term growth

The result is a CRM that reflects how media teams operate day-to-day. 

Marketing Automation & Audience-Driven Lead Generation 

Media marketing requires clear targeting, strong storytelling, and consistent engagement. LeadG2 helps media companies use HubSpot to:

  • Capture and nurture leads from digital properties and campaigns
  • Align audience engagement data with sales activity
  • Automate follow-up without sacrificing personalization
  • Connect marketing campaigns directly to revenue outcomes

This allows media teams to move beyond disconnected tools and operate from a single source of truth. 

Sales Enablement & Revenue Visibility 

LeadG2 helps media sales teams use HubSpot to focus on the right opportunities and improve forecasting accuracy. This includes:

  • Sales enablement tools that support consultative ad sales
  • Automated task management and follow-up
  • Dashboards that provide real-time insight into pipeline and revenue performance

Leadership gains the visibility needed to make confident, data-driven decisions. 

Ongoing HubSpot Consulting & Optimization 

As media organizations evolve, HubSpot must evolve with them. LeadG2 provides ongoing consulting to help media companies:

  • Improve adoption across sales and marketing teams
  • Optimize workflows and reporting as revenue models change
  • Align teams around shared performance goals

This ensures HubSpot continues to support growth as the business scales. 

How Media Companies Use HubSpot to Drive Revenue Growth 

When implemented correctly, HubSpot becomes a powerful revenue platform for media organizations. Media companies use HubSpot to:

  • Track advertising, sponsorship, and digital product opportunities in one system
  • Manage recurring and multi-month sales processes with automation
  • Align marketing activity with closed-won revenue
  • Improve collaboration between sales, marketing, and leadership
  • Gain clear visibility into forecasting and performance

HubSpot becomes the system that connects audience engagement, sales execution, and revenue results.

In short, HubSpot helps media companies:

  • Centralize revenue tracking across products
  • Improve forecasting accuracy
  • Align marketing and sales around performance
  • Increase visibility for leadership

A True Extension of Our Team! Over the course of several years, we have built a great amount of trust with our partners at LeadG2. With their help, beginning with the launch of a new B2B-focused website, we have dramatically increased our web presence and ability to interact with existing customers and prospective clients with educational content and unique audience opportunities. This long-term approach has started to show great results while we also leverage their expertise to make short term gains via improved sales enablement, customer outreach sequences, optimized lead management practices and more. LeadG2 is a true partner and the attention to detail in their ongoing analysis and optimization of our efforts is what I would expect from on-staff team members. This fact, coupled with their content creation abilities and strategic insights, make the team a highly-valued extension of our marketing organization.

You have to have buy-in from sales team and sales management and in order to incorporate this into the sales process. You don’t have to start with comprehension but start with compliance and they will get it later once they see it in action.

The Best! We are going on our 3rd year with LeadG2 and I cannot say enough good things about our experience! When we first started working with them, we literally had no inbound strategy and they were able to help us develop a plan that fit what we wanted. I personally love how hands-on they are with helping us come up with ideas and customizing things to fit exactly our needs. They've also been amazing at incorporating things we already do at Zimmer in to our inbound strategy so they work even better for us. I have been so excited to see how we've grown and how much business we've received just from our inbound marketing and all the ideas LeadG2 were able to help us with. We have sold leads that have came in that we would never have dreamed of calling on in the first place. LeadG2 has definitely helped us strengthen our brand among our clients and potential prospects, they have really helped us become that thought leader in our industry.
