Solving Your Chaotic Marketing Tech Stack With Hubspot

Trying to figure out the perfect marketing tech stack can be challenging at best and chaotic at worst. More often than not, it likely stretches closer to the chaotic side of the spectrum.

And that chaos becomes a problem when you realize that optimizing your marketing tech stack is essential to ensuring that your company achieves its marketing goals and becomes the best it possibly can be. It gets even more problematic when you stop to think that there are nearly 7,000 tools, software, apps, and more that you could potentially add to your marketing arsenal. So how are you supposed to choose the right tools for your business while also making sure that each component of your stack integrates seamlessly with all the others?

There’s a pretty simple solution to that. After pouring over different solutions for longer than we’d care to admit, we’ve found that Hubspot is the best all-in-one tool for your marketing tech stack. Don’t get us wrong, all CRMs have their failings, but Hubspot is the best solution we’ve found thus far.

Let us break it down for you.

 


What Is A Marketing Tech Stack?

We’re glad you asked. A marketing tech stack is a collection of tools, software, apps, and technologies used by marketers and marketing businesses to conduct, enhance, and streamline their marketing campaigns.

Marketing tech stacks typically include software for email automation, live chat or chatbots, analytics tools, SEO, social media management, ad tracking and management, lead generation tools, and content management systems.

When you factor in the 7,000 tools, apps, and software on the market today, it can be pretty terrifying trying to decide which tools are best for which part of your marketing strategy. Should you use MailChimp or Campaign Monitor for email automation? Is HootSuite better than BuzzSumo for your social media marketing? What about Salesforce, Freshsales CRM, Sugar CRM, or Microsoft Dynamics?

You see where we’re going with this. How on earth do you know which to choose? Of course, you could spend the time and money to compare and contrast any number of marketing tech stack tools, but honestly, who’s going to do that?

Well, us. We did it, so you don’t have to. And what we found is that Hubspot is the best bang for your buck in terms of all-in-one marketing solutions.
