ALMOST A DECADE AT HUBSPOT

I joined HubSpot in its early start-up stage. This allowed me the opportunity and creative freedom to take risks and have fun— both helped turn HubSpot into the brand that it is today.

Challenge

When I joined HubSpot in the early days, the company was growing fast. We were bringing in top talent, and the culture had this fun, creative energy. Great perks, a cool office, and coworkers who actually made coming to work exciting.

Solution

So when I was asked to help with a recruiting project, I told the HR team: let’s not do the typical tech company “culture video.” You know the ones—corporate buzzwords, forced smiles, stock music. I wanted to do the opposite. Something that actually captured the personality and creativity of the people who worked there.

Results

The final video hit the mark. It got a ton of great feedback and even won us a Telly Award, which was a pretty awesome bonus.

A Fairy Sales Story

Challenge

Most people aren’t exactly thrilled about getting cold calls. But every now and then, a rep comes along who’s not pushy—just genuinely helpful. That’s exactly what happened with one of our customers.

They sent us an email sharing how surprised they were—in a good way—after talking to someone on our sales team. I thought, this is the kind of story future prospects need to hear.

Solution

So I turned their email into a short video, letting them tell the story in their own words. The goal was simple: help other potential customers feel a little more at ease when they hear from our reps.
