30+ Free Resources for Quick Marketing Wins

You know the drill. As marketers, we are forever pressed for creative, performance-driven ideas. In the era of fast-paced, connected consumers, we must constantly evolve to prove our marketing success. And, we must do it quickly. 

In a recent blog post, Paul Roetzer articulates the challenge: 

“There have never been more choices for marketers. There has never been more noise. There has never been more demand for performance.” 

To solve for business growth challenges, PR 20/20 organized an interactive Cleveland HubSpot User Group (HUG) event on Wednesday, March 23 featuring the Marketing Growth Hackathon^TM. In as little as one hour, attendees collaborated to come up with campaign ideas that could be activated in as little as 30 to 90 days. (Sending a special thanks to Advance Ohio for hosting the event!)

The Marketing Growth Hackathon^TM: HubSpot Edition

We invited Cleveland HubSpot users to join forces and collaborate during an interactive workshop led by Paul Roetzer (@paulroetzer). During the hackathon, Paul presented the six-step planning model and facilitated group brainstorming to identify campaign ideas with the greatest probability of success. At the end of each hackathon, marketers are left with:

• Prioritized and simplified marketing goals.
• Dynamic campaign ideas.
• Insight on how to apply new technologies and processes to improve efficiencies.
• Greater value in a HubSpot license.

At the HUG, we brought together creative minds from all marketing disciplines and backgrounds to unlock the true value of results-driven ideas. Each group walked away with unique ideas that have both a high impact rating and ability to execute.
