It’s almost year end!
Our 2016 was a memorable one with plenty of noteworthy achievements. When it comes to our blog, we’ve managed to grow it exponentially since the start of 2016. If you’re new to our blog, or don’t check in regularly, you might have missed out on some of the gems we posted this year.
So here’s a roundup of our best 2016 blog posts. These are posts that are well-received in terms of viewership and clickthroughs, as well as posts that we are just mighty proud of.

How HCLI Grew Their Contact List by 1,700% with Hubspot & Email Marketing
Ah, here’s a blog post that makes us swell with pride!
This case study on how we expanded a client’s contact list by 17 times earned us the 2016 HubSpot Impact Award for Client Inbound Growth. We did it all in just six months of engagement.
Here are some things we did that contributed to our client’s success:
- Establish a well-coordinated marketing campaign strategy. Previously, the client’s campaigns were run using multiple, unintegrated platforms. That made tracking and analysing results difficult.
- Increase their outreach using digital inbound channels. The client used to rely on its existing networks and databases. We helped increase their exposure through new digital channels like paid social media ads.
