Contacts (and Companies and Deals)
Property history - now clearly see all a full log of property changes eg: https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/306227/contact-beta/10723127/history
Inline editing of notes in the timeline
Review email interactions in the timeline, including sent, delivered, opened, clicked, but doesn’t show what they clicked - but the next items in the timeline will show if they are on the site (but external links you won’t see)

Take away: need to have content strategy in place, depends on the industry you are in.

Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week

https://research.hubspot.com/reports/the-future-of-content-marketing

Based on a survey of 1091 global internet users.

Latin America likes Interactive Articles or Tools, but it’s not in the top 5 for any other region.

Take away: Focus on news articles, social, video and research content. Research content can often get synthesised and then presented to ultimate end users.
