Our company had enlisted the digital marketing company to remodel the complete inbound funnel of our B2B wholesale site. The project was initiated as a result of a tiresome audit of our current site, landing pages, and the configuration of our HubSpot CRM.

A range of services were offered by Insidea, all of which focused on email marketing. Following the launch of our campaign, we identified a few problems that we hired Insidea to help with. These included a deliverability audit to see if our emails were ending up in users' spam folders, a warm-up to address domain health issues, and a relaunch of our email campaigns using the deliverability and domain components that had been updated. Insidea completed all of these deliverables in a timely, thorough, and professional manner.

Insidea always replied to emails promptly; the feedback loop was very valued, particularly given our short turnaround time.

Our engagement with Insidea focused on structured, end-to-end onboarding and optimisation of our HubSpot environment, tailored specifically to our unique business needs and internal workflows. The scope of work included strategic guidance, platform configuration, training, and ongoing implementation support.

Insidea acted as both a strategic advisor and an execution partner, helping us get the most out of our HubSpot platform while ensuring the process was collaborative, clear, and tailored to how we work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Faster Time-to-Value from HubSpot

• We were able to get fully up and running with key CRM, Marketing, and Sales Hub functions within weeks, not months.
• The structured onboarding helped us start executing campaigns and tracking leads significantly sooner than expected.

Improved Lead Management & Handover

• Clearer lifecycle stage definitions and automated workflows led to a more consistent sales handover process, reducing lead leakage.
• We saw an immediate increase in lead engagement thanks to tailored nurturing sequences and prompt follow-ups.
  Increased Productivity & Adoption
• Internal adoption of HubSpot tools increased across teams, with more users actively logging in and using dashboards, sequences, and automation tools.
• Having pre-built templates and automation in place helped reduce manual work, leading to time savings of 2–3 hours per week per user.

Cleaner CRM Data

• Through Insidea’s data clean-up and segmentation support, we achieved a 25–40% reduction in duplicate or incomplete records, improving data integrity and campaign performance.
• Marketing Campaign Execution
• We successfully launched our first HubSpot campaign (emails, landing pages, and forms) and could track open rates, click-throughs, and conversions with dashboards set up during onboarding.
• We experienced a lift in email engagement rates by 15–20%, attributed to improved contact segmentation and automation logic.

Executive-Level Reporting

• Dashboards created with Insidea’s support allowed us to provide real-time visibility into pipeline, campaign performance, and contact lifecycle—reporting that previously required manual effort.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Insidea’s project management was excellent from start to finish. They came into the engagement with a clear plan, including a pre-defined list of action items and a shared tracking document that kept everything organised, transparent, and moving forward. Each session had a clear agenda, and they were always on time, well-prepared, and focused on outcomes.

What really stood out was how responsive and adaptable they were. They listened closely to our needs and preferences, adjusted the pace when needed, and tailored each session to what was most important to us at that time. Nothing ever felt rushed or rigid—we always felt supported and heard.

All deliverables were completed on time or ahead of schedule, and when we had additional questions or needed to pivot slightly from the original scope, they were flexible and proactive in helping us work through it. Their follow-through was consistent, and they kept us accountable in a really positive way.

Overall, Insidea felt like a true partner—not just delivering a service, but genuinely invested in our success.

Proactive Recommendations: While they were incredibly responsive to our needs and questions, there may have been opportunities to push us a little more on best practices or to suggest additional features we hadn’t yet considered. A few more proactive ideas on how we could fully optimise HubSpot beyond our initial scope would have added extra value.

Some of the links to helpful documents they compiled were stored in a spreadsheet cell, which totally makes sense.  Ideally, there would be a page of all of the links they provided so it can be easily found and referenced by other team members but this would just be the cherry on top, the way the information was provided was very acceptable and we appreciate all the additional documents Insidea put together for us.
