As fall blends into winter bringing the return of Pumpkin Spice everything, brisk mornings and colorful foliage, we find a time to be thankful and reflective on what the past year has brought us.
Over the course of 2018, HubSpot has worked hard to expand their offerings to cater to more and more businesses. In order to meet the needs of many industries, they have increased the integrations that are able to enhance your business’s relationship to the CRM and sales program. There are so many, in fact, that the directory can feel a little overwhelming. Which programs to chose? Which will meet my goals effectively?
We have taken the time to digest the offerings and the following are the HubSpot integrations we feel most thankful for this season. These are the integrations that REALLY make your life easier and your content more amazing.
If you’re interested in creating more videos, you’ll love these…
Powtoon
Creating animated videos can be harder than it looks. But they are hard to ignore since they get such great engagement and have lower production cost than most commercial-quality videos. Animated videos are also a great resource for companies that are fluid and change often, since they can have a faster creation time.
Using a simple, DIY video making platform, Powtoon enables you to create authentic engagement using animation, live video, moving graphics, music, and voiceover capabilities. These videos can reach throughout your blogs, email sequences, and other communication to provide engaging content to your audience.
Shakr
Shakr makes video creation easy and unique by providing over 2000 templates to begin with. Add your photos and video clips, customize your text, and tada! No more importing and exporting video content over and over. House your videos in Hubspot’s file manager with a click of a button.
If you want to craft beautiful, motivating emails…

If you like downloadable content…
Beacon
If you’re a marketer, you have probably written a blog or two. You may have even spun up that same content into different formats: e-books, infographics, one-pagers, and more. While this is all well and good, what if you had the power to take that original blog post and IMMEDIATELY have an e-book or other downloadable tool ready to go at your fingertips? Beacon gives you that perfect superpower.
Beacon pulls your blog content into its UI and walks you through a series of steps to approve design and content for the desired tool. Once you approve, it provides the content within your Hubspot Content Manager for use in the future. Genius.
