Inbound Marketers Depend on their Wits not WalletsKieran Flanagan
The document discusses how inbound marketers depend on their wits, not their wallets. It emphasizes focusing on the right goals, experimenting, and using data to drive decisions. It provides examples of how companies like HubSpot, Hotmail, and Uber focused on the right metrics and goals to maximize growth. Marketers are encouraged to experiment with different content types and formats, social sharing options, and nurture programs that extend beyond email to drive better results.
Any marketer who is focused on scaling a business has scrappiness built into their core. They hustle to make results happen. They are very clear goals, a great understanding of how to stack rank these goals using levers and an obsession with experimentation to continually improve upon their results.
Kieran Flanagan argues that traditional marketing creates bad experiences for potential customers and fails to personalize. Inbound marketing is presented as a better approach, focusing on creating useful content to attract consumers and building marketing assets, offers, and tools to generate leads and sales. Data and metrics are emphasized to continuously improve content and campaigns. Examples show how inbound marketing grew Hubspot's traffic, leads, and customers substantially over time.
Integrated Marketing - How SEO's can own more of the FunnelKieran Flanagan
The document discusses why SEO professionals should take an integrated marketing approach. It argues that an integrated approach allows marketers to model customer behavior across the entire marketing funnel, create keyword maps, develop content that resonates with target audiences, and measure success beyond just search metrics. An integrated strategy is said to produce top of funnel awareness, reduce bounce rates, increase engagement, and improve conversion rates.
#SocialSucess - An Inbound Marketing Case StudyKieran Flanagan
Salesforce.com launched an inbound marketing experiment called Social Success to establish itself as a thought leader in social business and drive more organic traffic. The campaign involved creating a microsite with social media and content marketing best practices. In the first month, the site drove an 80% increase in non-customer traffic and 300% more traffic from social sites, exceeding signup and download targets. Lessons learned include prioritizing content, cross-promotion, and measuring performance to continue improving results.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
Vision and Goals: The primary aim of the 1st Defence Tech Meetup is to create a Defence Tech cluster in Portugal, bringing together key technology and defence players, accelerating Defence Tech startups, and making Portugal an attractive hub for innovation in this sector.
Historical Context and Industry Evolution: The presentation provides an overview of the evolution of the Portuguese military industry from the 1970s to the present, highlighting significant shifts such as the privatisation of military capabilities and Portugal's integration into international defence and space programs.
Innovation and Defence Linkage: Emphasis on the historical linkage between innovation and defence, citing examples like the military genesis of Silicon Valley and the Cold War's technological dividends that fueled the digital economy, highlighting the potential for similar growth in Portugal.
Proposals for Growth: Recommendations include promoting dual-use technologies and open innovation, streamlining procurement processes, supporting and financing new ICT/BTID companies, and creating a Defence Startup Accelerator to spur innovation and economic growth.
Current and Future Technologies: Discussion on emerging defence technologies such as drone warfare, advancements in AI, and new military applications, along with the importance of integrating these innovations to enhance Portugal's defence capabilities and economic resilience.

Editor's Notes
My name is Kieran Flanagan and I am the marketing director for HubSpot in Europe. HubSpot are a Boston based company, our international HQ is in Dublin and we sell a marketing platform. I’m here today to talk about inbound marketing and how it can help us to suck a little less at marketing
But first I am going to talk about a problem us Marketers have, and that’s we’re not very loveable. Based on a poll run by a company in the US called Gallup politics, marketers are trusted less than stockbrokers and lawyers. That’s pretty bad considering what’s happened over the past 5 years. We managed to stay ahead of politicians and care salespeople. I think the day we are trusted less than politicians is the day we might need to find new careers. This poll really got me thinking about marketing. It’s a career I am deeply passionate about. But it’s obviously a profession a lot of other people find annoying.
I think other people find it annoying because we often create experiences that suck. Good marketing shouldn’t feel like marketing at all. It should add value to our audience so they don’t even think of it as marketing.
I obviously can’t turn up at a marketing conference and say marketing can sometimes suck without bringing out a few examples.
We don’t make enough of an effort to understand our audience. We just create generic experiences for everyone in the hope someone will like it. I am sure everyone gets emails like this all the time. Email is the easiest channel to personalise around our different audiences. It’s the easiest channel for us to deliver the right content to the right people. Personalised emails get a 14% higher click through rate. But marketers still fail to even personalise their email communication. I love the fact this person thinks I am HubSpot, it plays to my giant ego and they got my job title right. But this isn’t’ relevant to me. When we fail to understand our audience, all of marketing is going to feel like spam, not just our email.
We create really bad experiences by interrupting what people are doing online. I love this example from Toyota. It’s a great example of a pop up ad placement gone wrong. Not the best news article for their ad to be appearing under. Everyone on this planet finds pop up ads annoying, but marketers keep creating them. We need to create things our audience choose to engage with, not more pop up ads
As marketers we think about our needs a lot and promote ourselves pretty shamelessly at the wrong times. This is another great example from Toyota, who created multiple twitter accounts to spam the superbowlhashtag with their competition We need to find the right moments and opportunities to promote ourselves.
For the rest of this presentation, I am going to talk about how we can take an inbound approach to these 3 areas of marketing and
Turn them into something that sucks a lot less.
At the heart of any successful inbound marketing strategy is a well thought out & understood buyer persona. A great inbound marketer should be able to figure out who their different buying personas are, what type of goals they have, their different pain points and what are their challenges. This is going to help us create content that’s of real value to each of our personas.
This is one of HubSpots real buyer personas. We call her Marketing Mary. This is the one page buyer persona. What usually happens is you start out with a far longer version and condense it into a one pager. You can see we add things like biographic & demographic information. Plus we add things like her goals, challenges and why she would buy HubSpot. All of this information is going to help us develop the right kind of content for her, at each stage of the buying process. When starting out, most companies will start with a primary buying persona. Marketing Mary is our primary persona. That’s our sweet spot.
As the company evolves they usually end up with secondary personas. For example Owner Ollie used to be our primary persona, before we created Marketing Mary as our tools became more sophisticated.
Enterprise Erin was added 18 months ago as we added a lot more functionality that appealed to Enterprise marketers and we began selling a lot more in that space. These buyer personas help us to produce the right content for our different audience segments
From our state of inbound marketing report this year, where we surveyed over 3500 marketers, the top goal for European marketers was reaching the right audience and converting them to leads. That’s not going to be possible unless you have the right content to attract those people to your site and the right content for them to download so they become a lead. You need to understand what your audience needs
A successful inbound marketing strategy is anchored around your different buyer personas.
The second part of this is aiming to be remarkable. Now I know a lot of people roll their eyes at words like this. For me, being remarkable is a mindset.
It’s how do I create content that adds real value,
That solves a real pain point for my audience
Or simply entertains them
When creating content for people to download, I’m thinking what my audience currently pay for that I can give to them for free.
Luckily for me, there are lots of places I can find this information out.
Have content that offers real value, beyond just text. For example, our Owner Ollie knows great looking call to actions are important, but often doesn’t have the resources to get them done, so we gave him customisable call to actions. He can just download them and customise them himself in powerpoint.
Marketing Mary has to spend money on stock photos for her presentations, so we gave her 250 for free. This has been one of our best performing offers this year. Think about the things your audience are currently paying for and figure out if you can provide them for free
Being remarkable helps you to create content assets that your audience chooses to engage with, rather than having to depend on interruptive techniques. Being remarkable is something you strive to be, it’s a mindset, it means you are going to create content that adds value your audience, solve a real pain point for them.
You want to find the right time and opportunities to promote things of real value you create.
Most marketers will obsess over the question of how they produce more content or better quality content. The right question to ask is how do we distribute this content to the right people
When we put a lot of time and effort into a piece of content, what is my potential audience for that piece of content and what type of engagement can I expect
I obsess over this a lot. This is from one of my whiteboards at home. For each piece of content, I want to know what is my potential audience, my expected engagement rate and from that I can figure out my expected engaged audience
For example, you look at the things you can do to influence the engaged audience. I can advertise this across my blog, to my email list, across my Facebook and Twitter profiles and maybe this is a co-branded piece of content so another company is going to promote it to their list.From this I can put a number against the engaged audience I can generate for this piece of content.This is the potential engaged audience before we add in things like it taken off in social or ranking well in Google.What I want, is to increase all of these things. I want more distribution channels, I want to increase my available audience, I want a better engagement CTR
Creating the content is only the starting point of the process. You want to invest just as much time in distributing it to the right audience.
I really think companies will start to hire people to just focus on content distribution.
To grow that engaged audience figure. We want more people to see the valuable content we produce.
The great thing is, the more you build up your available audience, the more you can do things to grow your engaged audience.For example, when we email our database about our latest content piece, we can simply include a lazy tweet for them to share it with their network.
People will do this and it helps to attract people from their networks back to our site.
Another example of this is, the thank you pages people get to after they download a piece of content from us our personalised towards them. We use the information we have to create tailored messaging and we provide the option for them to forward that offer to a friend. It’s crazy the amount of people who do this.
You want to find people with the right interests to seed your content to. It’s like creating a mini PR campaign for every piece of content
On Facebook you can upload that email list you have and retarget them with your content offer. You can use lookalike audiences to expand that reach. You can target by interests or right down to individuals. If there are particular journalists or known bloggers on Facebook, you can target them with a personalised message.
You can do the same on Twitter, target groups of people by interests and seed your content
Paid content discovery is going to be big. As more and more companies up the stakes in content, we will have to pay to get initial eyeballs. The important thing to remember is the money spend to acquire those eyeballs will be wasted if the quality of the content isn’t good.
