Social Software will Change the World

Social Software HAS Changed the World

We’ve Only Just Begun…

WE’RE… DIFFERENT.

Our guiding goal is delighting customers.

THE HUBSPOT CULTURE CODE. 1.  We are as maniacal about our metrics as our

mission.

2.  We obsess over customers, not competitors.

3.  We are radically and uncomfortably transparent. 4.  We give ourselves the autonomy to be awesome.

5.  We are unreasonably selective about our peers.

6.  We invest in individual mastery and market value. 7.  We defy conventional “wisdom” as it’s often

unwise.

8.  We speak the truth and face the facts. 9.  We believe in work+life, not work vs. life.

10. We are a perpetual work in progress.

NO ONE WAKES UP AND SAYS:

“I want to see an ad.”

SO WHY DO MARKETERS WAKE UP AND SAY:

“Let’s make an ad”?

Changes in Consumer Attention

THEN. NOW.

What we really need is a mindset shift that will make us relevant to today’s consumers, a mindset shift from ‘telling & selling’ to building relationships.”

Jim Stengel Former global marketing officer for Procter & Gamble
