It's no secret that we're fans of HubSpot. We use their software for our own marketing, most of our clients are on the platform as well, and we live and breath the inbound marketing methodology that they popularized.
So it's no surprise that our team was prepping all year for HubSpot annual inbound marketing conference, called INBOUND. (Plus, it didn't hurt that we scored a couple of free tickets by putting on a badass blogging workshop here in Atlanta!).
We got back from the festivities this past weekend, but the excitement and energy from the conference is still coursing through our agency.
Along with amazing keynote speakers like Guy Kawasaki, Malcolm Gladwell, Simon Sinek and Martha Stewart, we attended workshops and lectures to learn new strategies, soak up new inbound knowledge, and rub shoulders with the best marketing minds in the industry.
So much valuable knowledge was tossed around that trying to put it all into one post would take me the rest of the year. So instead, I've gathered 23 of the most awesome marketing quotes from the memorable speeches and workshops at INBOUND 2014.
