[THE LATEST] HubSpot Demolishes Traffic Records, Pinterest Takes A Stand Against Fake Content, & IMPACT Massively Increases Article CTR

Here's THE LATEST from the marketing, business, and tech world...

HubSpot Demolishes Traffic Records, Pinterest Takes A Stand Against Fake Content, & IMPACT Massively Increases Article CTR...This Is THE LATEST! So, last night was the Oscars and, as a huge movie buff, it was a big deal for me. I had seen all of the Best Picture nominees but one (sorry Vice) and as a self-proclaimed tough critic, I was excited to see how the academy voted. Overall, I was very happy with the way things went especially Rami Malek taking home Best Actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody... And the charming appearance by Wayne's World Duo Mike Myers and Dana Carvey... But that doesn't happen every year. Most years, I'm left rolling my eyes at what voters thought was Oscar-worthy. I guess the same could be said about any situation, though. Personal opinions will always differ, but you know what I think we'll all agree is award-worthy? The accomplishments these brands saw in the last few days... 📈  This is How HubSpot Broke All Its Website Traffic Records Thanks to a New Blogging Strategy HubSpot has always seen impressive growth, but 2018 was hallmark even by its standards. In the last year, the HubSpot marketing team saw 80% year over year traffic growth with a brand new strategy. This week on The Inbound Success Podcast, Kathleen speaks with HubSpot VP of Marketing Kieran Flanagan about the company's "hearts and minds strategy" and how it got it where it is today.  🙊  Pinterest Took A Bold Step in Censoring False Content. Could More Be On The Way?   From recipes and decor to travel and health tips, Pinterest is a haven of useful information for millions. However, like most things shared on the internet, you can't always know if what you find is sound. Recognizing this in regards to childhood vaccinations, Pinterest recently announced that it has actively been preventing false reports from being found on its platform. In this article, we dive into what this action says about the future of content regulation and what your brand needs to know to prepare.  🔔 Are You Missing Out On the Full Experience?     If you're enjoying THE LATEST but aren't a member of IMPACT Elite you're missing out on the rest of the experience.
