Shot 2: HubSpot Marketing Feature of the Week

Shutterstock integration into File Manager:

Shutterstock Integration: 60,000 Royalty Free Images within HubSpot Now Available

If you're a content creator, you know finding the right image can be time consuming and full of legal complexities. Today, we're happy to announce an integration with Shutterstock which will make 60,000 images from their gallery available free within HubSpot.

Try out the Shutterstock integration today!

How it Works:

Head to File Manager and click the new 'Stock Images' tab.
Within Stock Images, search for an image you would like to add to social messages, or content. Such as, "coffee" or, "exam".
Once you find an image, simply click on it and save it to your File Manager.
After it's saved, go to your content, or social message and insert it directly from there.

Note: Watermarks will appear on Shutterstock images within search. Once you save these images to your File Manager, watermarks are removed and will not appear in your live content.

Note: we discovered that this is only a subset of the images available on Shutterstock - many of the ‘good’ ones aren’t available.

Shot 6: Creative Top 10 of the Week

Ian’s challenge to Craig:

How to differently promote an Australian building materials distributor & supplier to residential, commercial, industrial, building and construction industries.

Good marketing = clever targeting + specific content

Create ideal buyer profiles and personas for each market
Prepare a matrix of personas versus channels where they ‘hang out’
Plan content for each channel and persona => there is always room for a high quality guide eg How To Choose A Supplier for Your Home Renovation -> do this for each buyer profile
Consider utility versus entertainment: think of ways to make the brand memorable, think of your ‘will it blend’ equivalent eg it could be a particular material is incorporated into a campaign showing its particular strengths => video

Residential

Target people on Facebook who are interested in renovation, interior design and promote via FB, Instagram and Messenger => SEM
Target people on Facebook who are builders and promote a key differentiator (choose one of delivery, price, quality) => SEM
Use a service like Task Rabbit to get someone to drive around a suburb and make a note of all the building projects underway (eg sign in front yard), then direct mail each of those builders with details of materials they’ll need in the next stage of the building => direct mail, SMS

Commercial

Target specific commercial industry segments eg hospitals, nursing homes and highlight case studies of happy customers => case study guide
Target specific partner channels eg architects, plumbers, electricians, interior designers and provide guides for each specific type => ebook

Industrial

Target particular construction sites you know have had supply issues and directly contact the site foreman (foreperson) => phone calls
Consider common pain points: eg late delivery and provide differentiated service that will overcome that stress => highlight in partner tenders
