As a B2B platform, Incubeta realised that a robust CRM is a crucial component for their business success. They understood the importance of effectively managing customer relationships to drive growth and maintain client satisfaction. Let's discover how Incubeta achieved this with the power of HubSpot's marketing automation platform and learn how to effectively implement it in your own marketing strategy.

Overcoming Digital Marketing Challenges: Incubeta's Strategic Goals

Incubeta faced numerous digital marketing challenges and had specific goals they were determined to achieve. One of their primary concerns was data management and segmentation. With a vast and somewhat unorganised database due to their global nature, Incubeta needed a solution that could effectively handle this complexity while maintaining the quality and reputation of their marketing strategies. Additionally, their lead handover process lacked streamlining, which further hindered their marketing efforts.

In our recent webinar "Mastering Marketing Automation: Incubeta's Drive for Efficiency with HubSpot", Lisa Morton, Global Marketing Director at Incubeta, emphasised the importance of finding a comprehensive CRM solution that would allow them centralise customer data and automate various sales and marketing tasks, such as lead management, contact segmentation, and follow-up activities. With a unified view of customer information, they could better understand their clients' needs, preferences, and behaviours, enabling them to tailor their digital marketing efforts and deliver more personalised experiences.

Streamlining Processes Through Marketing Automation

Recognising the potential of HubSpot to transform their marketing efforts, Incubeta partnered with BBD Boom, an Elite HubSpot partner. Together, they embarked on a journey to optimise Incubeta's marketing strategies, enhance data management, and improve the overall efficiency of their sales and marketing teams. The key areas they focused on were:

1. Overcoming Data Management Challenges with HubSpot: By implementing progressive form fields, Incubeta is able to capture additional information from their contacts over time, gradually building a comprehensive view of each individual. This data enrichment process not only enhances their understanding of their customers but also enables them to deliver more personalised and targeted marketing campaigns.

With cleaner and more organised data, they streamlined the marketing to sales handover processes and provided a clear path for engaging and converting leads.
