Inbound marketing is about drawing in an audience: in to buy your product ... in to engage with your brand.
But once you’ve achieved this, what comes next? This year’s HUG18 welcomes an A-list lineup of speakers who will guide us through those next steps and make sure you’re aligning your messaging to truly connect with your audience. Let's take a look at a few of these thought leaders in the space!
Todd Hockenberry
Founder of Top Line Results, Todd Hockenberry, will share his insights on How to Build and Strengthen Your Company’s Future Using Inbound Principles. He believes that “creating a remarkable customer experience” belongs on the desk of anyone in the position of organizational leadership. However, before tackling the solution, a strong, foundation must be created and maintained.
He will walk us through these foundational principles and how they apply to every person your organization. When it comes to meaningful relationships and strong connections, there is often a disconnect between saying and doing. Through is presentation, Hockenberry will focus on how to be a doer.

Sujan Patel
Entrepreneur Sujan Patel also believes in “being customer obsessed.” He will speak about customer-driven growth and how to build a framework through content and community. Although everything we do as inbound marketers is for the customer, it can challenging to keep your eye on that singular goal, especially in the midst of KPIs and other growth measurements. Patel will show us how to create content that provides solutions to customer problems. Don't miss his presentation at HUG18. The C Factor: A Customer-Driven Growth Framework, will guide you through providing more value to create longer-lasting connections.
