Hi Jorie,

My name is Alessandro. I'm an Inside Sales Representative at MIMO LLC. I work in the industry of cash and coin automation. I deal with dispensaries, grocery stores, casinos, attractions, etc.

I've been with my company for almost 5 months now. I have a BSB in Marketing from DePaul University and feel that I'm great at telling stories and bridging connections. I know how to tell a narrative!

I'm currently reading a book called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. My boss gave it to me. Great read so far.

Welcome, @ALimone! Glad to have you here. Being able to tell a narrative is such an important skill for every industry, including sales and marketing. I've heard great things about The Secret! It sounds like it's worth checking out!

Hi everyone! Marty Williams from Vanguard Group Ltd here, New Zealand based.
I am Vanguard's Marketing Coordinator.
We provide vehicle and pedestrian safety solutions to businesses around the country.
I have been with the team since November 2020.
At 27 and still relatively new to the company, I bring a fresh perspective to the team, offering new ideas based on contemporary changes in the industry.
We're making big changes in the company at the moment, integrating our systems, with HubSpot intended to be the centre of it all. We're also on our way to building a new website and creating more streams for contact attraction and conversion. It's been fascinating researching new methods of presenting our material to the country and creating new/nurturing existing contacts with the channels available to us.

I look forward to reading about the approaches everyone is taking to drive their marketing efforts! forward to reading about the approaches everyone is taking to drive their marketing efforts!

Hello Everyone,

I work as Director of Development and Marketing for an Abbey and School in Ireland. I also consult with other non-profits to develop their major-gift fundraising capabilities and help them design campaigns and communication strategies.

My work is predominantly in the not-for-profit sectors and more specifically in education, healthcare, and human services.

I have worked with the Abbey and Shcool for the last four years, and in the fundraising sector for the last 9 years.

Superpower 🙂 I suppose is the ability to distil complex organisational strategies into simple to understand needs, so people understand how they can engage and help.

Currently delving into SEO, Content, and paid digital advertising.

Looking forward to learning from you guys!! James

Hello everyone! I am currently looking for my next adventure, but I have spent the past 14 years in various marcomm/social media roles in the higher education and nonprofit sectors! My marketing superpowers would be adaptability and community building - five years ago, I started HigherEdSocial on Slack, a community of higher education social media marketers. I'm currently reading "Imperfect Union" by Steve Inskeep and am getting ready to read "Made to Stick."

[AmandaPofahl]

Hey there!

My name is Amanda, I'm based in Brazil and I currently work as Marketing Manager for an Open Banking API platform that targets the Latin American market. I'm responsible for our Communication and Marketing efforts in Brazil, from PR to demand generation. My superpower is being able to communicate any complex message in a simple, easy to understand way. 

I'm a Hubspot enthusiast, have worked with it previously in my former job, and I'm always seeking to learn more about its fantastic capabilities and how they can help with my OKRs. Love the friendly interface and quick support, the team rocks!

Cheers,
Amanda

[JorieMunroe]

Hi @AmandaPofahl! 👋  Glad to have you here! 

Big fan of setting and hitting OKRs! It's my favorite goal setting framework! I learned the framework from @Julien (who runs the Crediential program on the Academy team) and never turned back. Smart goal, who? 

Excited to share more about what HubSpot has to offer! 

[AprilStevens]

Hello Everyone!

My name is April and I'm a Digital Content Producer for a marketing agency in Michigan. I just started this role this week after having spent years as a digital journalist. My marketing superpower is two-fold, at least in my opinion, I think I'm really good at making connections and telling the most important story -- the one that will generate leads. I'm currently reading several books, including "A Promised Land" by Barack Obama, "The Prophets" by Robert Jones Jr., and when I need something light and fun, "Act Your Age, Eve Brown" by Talia Hibbert. 

[JorieMunroe]

Hi @AprilStevens! Welcome welcome! 👋

One of my favorite adages is: "Today’s consumer doesn’t decide to buy based on what you’re selling, but rather why you’re selling it." In my mind, that's what makes storytelling such a powerful skill. It helps us reach our audiences in a helpful and human way and build meaningful connections. Looking forward to chatting more about this with you in the future! 

[AprilStevens]

Thank you for the warm welcome Jorie! I agree wholeheartedly with that adage. The mystery of "why" and the power that a good story can weild is part of why I love writing, journalism, and have come to learn the benefits of marketing said story. This is a journey and I'm excited to be on it!

[CReid1]

Hey There I'm Chanel and I'm super excited to be here!

I work as a client manager specializing in the small to midsize business market accross a varity of industries. I've been with my company for three years and my marketing superpower is being the liason between our creative team and our client. Love being able to add my input into each part of marketing. I'm currently reading I Am My Brand by Kobi Springer. 

[Champion]

Welcome, @CReid1! That's definitely a helpful skill——being the in-between creative and client. Sounds like you can wear many hats when needed. 

[jennysowyrda]

Hey everyone! Very exciting to hear from other HubSpot enthusiasts in this space! 😄 

I'm currently a Senior Community Manager on the HubSpot Community team. I've been on the Community team for over 3 years and at HubSpot for 4 years. I think my superpower is creating a strong team environment! Best results are only accomplished with the help of a team, and taking the time to create a strong team is never a waste of time! Look forward to learning from others through this group!
