This day comes once a year, but our amazing Community Team works every week of the year to make our communities as useful and rewarding as possible. Often, this work can feel unnoticed - when you do it well, you’re largely invisible and people walk away satisfied without ever getting a chance to say thanks.
So this CMAD, we wanted to take a moment to let you all speak to our Community Team and thank them.
Here’s a few things our Community Champions and members had to say. If you'd like to add your apprecation, please add your gratitude in the comments!
“Thank you all for providing a welcoming and encouraging place for us to share knowledge with other HubSpot users. As a user of message boards and forums for the past 25 (eek) years, I can honestly say the HubSpot community is one of the best.” -Ashley Hill
“For years now, I've been a part of this community and it's been nothing short of amazing. And it wouldn't have been that way if it weren't for you amazing Community Managers!” -Chris Bryant
“I’m sooooo thankful for everything this AMAZING team does!! They are always finding ways to make us feel cherished and appreciated, and they always succeed at doing it! I'm very grateful to be part of this amazing community, because you make it so lovely to be here. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your effort is greatly valued and appreciated!!!” -Gisele Lempert
“A special shout-out to Diana and Sharon—your energy and passion inspire us every day. Thank you for all the hard work and heart you put into making this community truly extraordinary. Thank you for fostering such a vibrant community and for being the driving force behind so many inspiring initiatives. You are truly exceptional!” -Lautaro Del Plato
“Thank you so much to the entire community team for empowering HubSpot advocates like me to be more vocal and proactive within the HubSpot community. From the engaging interactions with Berangere and Gabrielle, to the amazing in-person Community events hosted by Mia and the team, and last but certainly not least, my invite to INBOUND as a correspondent from Sharon (which I had to skip because of the birth of my daughter) - every bit it of means so much.” -Jonas De Mets
“Thank you for always investing in our full personal growth. You are a true delight, Erica!!” -Tanya Wigmore
“Titi is the backbone of the Community team. While Operations is often an under-appreciated job, Titi has managed several platform changes and communicates effectively with dozens of cross functional stakeholders. Without Titi the Community simply wouldn't function. Thank you, Titi!" -Jenny Sowyrda
“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all community managers and in specific, I got a chance to work closely with and am really honored for that (Kristen Schaefer, Sharon Licari, Mia Srebrnjak, Jaycee Lewis). Your tireless efforts to create a welcoming and inclusive community have not gone unnoticed. Your dedication to advance connections, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another is truly inspiring. You are the backbone of our community, and I'm so grateful to be a part of it.” -Humashankar Vellathur Jaganathan
“I’ve been part of several other groups with similar structures in the past, but none of them ever truly resonated with me. Why? Because of the hidden heroes like you, who prioritize real interactions over transactional exchanges. The community has a real, daily impact on our individual growth, and I’m loving being a part of it! Special kudos to Sharon Licari, Berangere Lelavandier, Gabrielle Herrera, Pam Cotton, Mia Srebrnjak, Diana Gomez, and Kristen Schaefer—you’ve never left any of my requests unanswered. That’s incredible, considering there are over 7-0-0-K members in this community. Keep rocking it! 💪💪” -José Forte
“Want to say thank you to all the community managers for their hard work in the forums and keeping the community champions engaged. I am grateful for having the opportunity to connect in-person with some of the squad at INBOUND24 and to see what warm, friendly, and genuine people they are!” -Evaldas
“Thank you Kennedy! I appreciate your help!” -JLaBove
“Thank you Kassandra Mendes for always extending opportunities to me and others in The Spot. Your care, service and infectious kindness does not go unnoticed!” -Adebukola Ajao
“Hi Erica, Thank you for everything that you do! I can see your passion in everything you do to support the empowerment of women in sales. Your positive energy is an inspiration for all! We need more selfless community leaders like you! THANK YOU!” -Zeenath Kuraisha
“Thank you so much for making every interaction mutually beneficial and nourishing. You're always so transparent, friendly and open to support. You epitomize what I believe community is about.” -Hannah Ajikawo
“Being something of an introvert and having never travelled to the US, I was super nervous about attending INBOUND last year as an INBOUND correspondent. The Community Managers were all fantastic, providing guiding resources and friendly faces! Thank you for all you do!” -Hannah Fisher
“HubSpot continues to transform my life in ways I never imagined, and for that, I owe a huge thank you to all of you in this incredible community! A special shoutout goes to Pam Cotton — your unwavering support, valuable tips, and constant encouragement have been instrumental in helping me get to where I am today. Pam, you inspire me to give back and do even more for this amazing community. Obrigado Pam! Quero fazer, junto com vocês, uma comunidade maior, melhor e mais unida aqui no Brasil!!” -Brenner
“Y'all are amazing! The growth of Community wouldn't be where it is today without the dedicated community managers. It's been so exciting to see (and be a part of) the evolution and I can't wait to see what's next!” -Josh Curcio
“I cannot say enough about Kassandra who is an incredible communicator and community builder. She has made my time with Hubspot and the activations I've been a part of incredible!” -Tiffany Hardin
“Kennedy has brought enthusiasm and an open mindset to the community team that helps us operate smoothly day after day. I'm excited to see Kennedy's continued impact on the Community team." -Jenny Sowyrda
