25,000 marketers from all over the world have the date on their calendars: September 25-28.
It’s HubSpot’s annual Inbound conference and for us, it really is the can’t-miss event of the year!
First off, HubSpot puts on a hell of a show with keynote speakers past and present like Michelle Obama, John Cena, Billie Jean King, Martha Stewart, Alec Baldwin, Arianna Huffington, Anna Kendrick and Gary Vaynerchuk, as well as performers like Judd Apatow, Trevor Noah, Amy Schumer, Janelle Monae, and OneRepublic.
Then there are the digital marketing education opportunities and great networking with some of the greatest minds in inbound and digital marketing. It's all a lot to take in, but with the help of a little pre-gaming, you can definitely get the most out of your experience. Here’s what we at StitchDX are looking to get out of Inbound 2017.

A while ago I posted about how to make a long-term business blogging plan. Now I’d like to discuss in a little more detail about how you put meat on the bones of your plan.
Let’s say you’ve mapped out a six-month plan, with a fresh new blog post every Tuesday. Do you have that many interesting topics to write about? You bet you do—you just don’t know it yet.

The more features, advantages and benefits you can communicate, the more points of persuasion you have to offer, the more ways you have to differentiate your offering vs. your competition’s, the sooner you can get to close. Right?
Trouble starts when you try, as a beloved mentor would say, to stuff 10 pounds of poop into a 5-pound burlap bag. The bag loses, and so do you.

As an almost-old-timer in the content development game, I perk up whenever I see any argument in support of the “good writing isn’t dead” side. The latest (and a really good one, IMHO): a post at fastcompany.com reminding us that design can’t achieve its full potential without high-quality wordcraft, and that for designers, writing is a rare and valuable “unicorn skill.”
