What is the HubsShots 28-Day Marketing Challenge?

 

The 28-day challenge is a guided training program, with daily training videos and weekly group sessions, to help new hubspot customers plan, build and promote a digital marketing campaign

Who is it for?

The 28-Day Challenge is designed for busy marketing executives who have had HubSpot for at least 6 months but haven't yet managed to get a marketing campaign live.

If this is you, don't feel bad - we see it a lot.

You've likely embraced the HubSpot vision, and are excited by all the power it provides, but have felt overwhelmed and not quite sure where to start.

You've probably spent some time doing some of the HubSpot Academy courses, and perhaps even attended HubSpot training.

You know it is all possible, but you just quite get a campaign live.

The HubShots 28-Day Marketing Challenge is perfect for you - over the course of the 4 weeks you'll complete a series of manageable, focussed training tasks. 

You'll meet with us (Ian and Craig) twice a week in a group zoom call to chat through strategic questions, unblock hurdles and solve technical challenges.

 

You'll be surprised at how 'easy' it actually is to get a campaign running, once you know the key ingredients to focus on.

Challenge Overview

The Marketing Challenge runs over 4 weeks (28 days).

Each week is focussed on a particular area of execution, including: Setup, Implementation, Promotion, and Optimisation.

Each day you will work through a focussed training task (including video and action list) that is realistic and manageable.

Each week you join two separate zoom group video sessions, lead by Ian and Craig. In the first session (usually on a Monday) the focus is on training, explaining the tasks for the week and helping with strategic questions.

The second session (usually on a Thursday) is a Q+A session focussed on answering any questions, including technical issues you have.

Ian and Craig are available via email as well through the entire 4 weeks.

"XEN’s combination of technical knowledge, processes, attention to detail and digital campaign strategy development make them an asset..."


XEN came recommended to us to aid in ramping up our inbound digital marketing efforts and it was evident right from the very first meeting with Craig that he brought with him a lot of knowledge and experience in HubSpot and digital marketing.

XEN’s combination of technical knowledge, processes, attention to detail and digital campaign strategy development make them an asset; and with their collaborative approach they really are an extension of our marketing team.
