Last year was the first time I attended HubSpot’s annual conference, INBOUND. It was so amazing and overwhelming, it’s a miracle my head didn’t explode daily. I did learn a few things I’d like to share with those who will be attending this year, whether you’re vets or newbies to this mother of all marketing conferences.

This year’s HubSpot INBOUND conference kicks off on a day we cannot wait to get here (and will hopefully survive), Election Day (aka “Uncle Sam’s Rock-bottom Yankee Doodle Suicide Pact 2016”). I’m so looking forward to focusing on something other than this painful election season, especially when free drinks are involved.

One evening about a year ago, I found myself trying on glasses frames for about two hours in my apartment. I don’t even wear glasses. But my former roommate Victor does. He had ordered five pairs of frames from Warby Parker as part of their free five-day home try-on offer. I thought this was the coolest thing; I’d certainly never heard of anything like it.

OK, so I’m pretty new to content marketing. As of this week, I’ve got a little over one full month of on-the-job experience under my belt, and I’m well aware that I have a long way to go before I can declare myself an actual content marketer. I’ll get there, just bear with me for now.
Like any form of writing, inbound marketing has its own unique flare about it. I’ve found it to be sort of like personal gonfiabili sportivi blogging, but on a professional platform. You pick and choose which topics really interest you, and write about why other people should care about them, too.

Great speakers make you feel like their message is pointed directly at you. Having had the pleasure to listen to Dr. Brené Brown’s keynote at HubSpot’s INBOUND15 conference this year had that effect on me. If you don’t know who she is (how did I miss this genius with three New York Times best sellers right now?!?), she gave one of the most viewed TED Talks, changed lives, and is well on her way to changing
mine.

INKsights from #INBOUND15
Writing. Strategizing. Creating. Pumpkin spiced lattes (finally).
As my professional career chugs along, I continue to gain a greater understanding of what truly energizes me day in, and day out. Female empowerment—that’s emerged as another biggie for me. Following the stories of women who’ve rocked the business world inspires me, it motivates me. It’s something I’ve loved about walking into the doors of Reputation Ink every day.
