Introducing the HubSpot Growth Suite
Whether you’re just getting started or scaling up, the HubSpot Growth Suite is everything you need to start engaging with your contacts and customers at every stage of their journey. The HubSpot Growth Suite is available at Starter, Professional, and Enterprise tiers and includes Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, and Service Hub at the respective tiers.
When you purchase the HubSpot Growth Suite, you’ll also get a 25% discount off the total cost of the entire suite. Based on the edition you select, onboarding may be required.
Create, Host, and Measure Video in HubSpot
Today, people gravitate more towards personal, authentic, and conversational videos. The businesses that match this change are the ones we pay attention to. But video strategy is dated, and our tools are incomplete. Growth through video can be transformative, but it won’t happen if you don’t match this change and bring video to your entire business.
HubSpot Video elevates video across your entire business. With it, your teams can execute a video strategy that matches how people consume video today.
HubSpot Video will have specific capabilities included in Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, and Service Hub at the Professional and Enterprise tiers.
- Marketing Hub: Marketers can now host and manage video files inside of HubSpot for free. Users can embed those videos into website pages, blogs, and social media channels with just one click, and add in-video CTAs and forms to make videos interactive. New landing page video analytics help maximize the impact of video in your marketing campaigns.
- Sales Hub: Salespeople can build stronger relationships with prospects by creating, sharing, and tracking personalized videos right from the HubSpot CRM.
- Service Hub: Service teams can help customers faster and more completely with personalized help videos created and shared directly from Service Hub. Agents can record their screen right from a ticket and send to customers, improving service and solving issues faster. Service teams can also host and embed videos in their knowledge base.

Introducing HubSpot CMS
We’re announcing the launch of HubSpot CMS, the first deeply-integrated CMS and CRM combination that will allow you to offer truly personalised experiences to your website visitors. It's available now for purchase as a standalone product or combined with any Hub.
We believe this is a great opportunity for agencies. You can start offering website redesign or optimization services that can lead to bigger engagements in the future.
Once a lead is registered in your client dashboard, you can create a new HubSpot CMS account for them. You can then start designing and building the website, and your customer will be able to purchase the portal touchlessly when they're ready to take it live.
Our team has been working hard to unify all the core tools your business needs to attract, engage, and delight customers in the HubSpot Growth Platform. We’re focused on making HubSpot a unified platform with included functionality and the best integrations so you can grow better in 2018, and beyond.
