As part of their three-year global growth strategy, Maritech, a leading Norway-based software provider, sought an Elite partner to integrate HubSpot CRM and Salesforce, maximize their investment in Marketing Hub, and deliver on strategic playbooks to drive a 3X revenue goal.
CHALLENGE
Aligning global teams behind unified data and marketing infrastructure.
Maritech, a globally-distributed organization, stepped up the task of unifying their teams under a single, data-driven strategy. Their sales team was already well-versed with Salesforce. However, the company's leaders recognized a need for a similarly robust, yet more specialized, platform for their marketing team. In response to these challenges, Maritech selected HubSpot's Marketing Hub to be their guiding light. The crucial objectives were:
- Effective implementation of HubSpot Marketing Hub
- Seamless Salesforce integration with a two-way sync between CRMs
- Optimization for interoperability and data integrity between systems
- Comprehensive team alignment and training
- Development of a robust, scalable Demand Generation strategy
Solving this intricate puzzle required a careful blend of strategic execution and precise fine-tuning. To maximize project efficiency and successful outcomes, Maritech searched for a partner with specialized skills to handle these critical components at once, with zero margin for error.
SOLUTION
Comprehensive system implementation, integration, and team training.
New Breed designed a comprehensive solution revolving around HubSpot's Marketing Hub, which aimed to enrich the customer journey with unambiguous reporting and scalable process design.
Three core components anchored the project:
1. HubSpot's Marketing Hub Implementation
