While the HubSpot User Group (HUG) conference offered a great opportunity for learning and networking, it was also the perfect time for HubSpot to recognize some of its awesome customers and partners who have achieved inbound marketing success.

We're very pleased to announce the following five customers as recipients of our three awards:

HubSpot Certified Partner of the Year: ymarketing

YMarketing, a digital search marketing agency based in Costa Mesa, CA, is the recipient of our first-ever Certified Partner of the Year Award. The HubSpot Certified Partner of the Year Award competition ranks HubSpot Value Added Resellers (VARs) on customer acquisition and Customer Happiness Index (CHI) (*see explanation of CHI near the end of this post). The fact that ymarketing is being honored with this award indicates that the company has excelled at helping its clients generate a significant ROI from their online marketing.

On behalf of HubSpot, I'd like to congratulate all of our award winners this year. Keep up the good work!

*What is CHI?

CHI, which means Customer Happiness Index, is a HubSpot proprietary algorithm, is a measure of three key metrics:

  1. The amount of features that are set up by the agency.
  2. The amount of features that are used on a regular basis.
  3. The resulting increase in traffic and leads that result from the features implemented.
