By 2016, digital marketing agency Posizionate was ready to go all-in with the inbound methodology. It was already helping its clients with SEO, content creation and Google AdWords, but it wanted to offer more joined-up services and prove that they were getting results. It also needed a way to take its marketing and sales to the next level.
Iván Gil, Posizionate’s CEO, knew that the right software partner would be key, and HubSpot was already on his radar. “I had been following its blog since 2007, and I was a fan of both its ethos and its products. When I discovered the HubSpot Partner Program, I was hooked. It was exactly what we were looking for: a complete system for inbound success.”
Iván liked how intuitive and powerful the HubSpot software was, and he was particularly impressed by how much support the Partner Program offered to agencies. “We spent a lot of time talking to the HubSpot team, and it was obvious that they could help us become the inbound experts that we wanted to be. In the end, it was an easy decision. We signed up in 2016.”

Creating a Funnel for GrowthPosizionate wanted its website to be an example of just how effective the inbound methodology can be. It got started by creating its buyer personas – executives from companies in the industrial, ITC, health and education sectors. It then doubled down on its content production, creating a popular blog and a monthly podcast.
“Once we got our personas set up, everything else flowed from that. All the topics we cover speak to their interests and pain points, and we use Calls-to-Action and Forms to encourage them to engage with us. Once they do, we can begin to build a progressive profile for every lead and enter them into personalised Workflows that move them through the funnel,” explains Iván.
The agency uses the HubSpot Growth Stack, the combination of HubSpot’s marketing, CRM and sales software, which means that its marketing and sales teams are working in much closer alignment.
“With the CRM, the marketing department can see how every contact has interacted with us, so they can refine their actions and get our sales team the quality leads they need. Our salespeople then use HubSpot Sales Hub to automate time-consuming tasks and to reach out to prospects at the ideal moment.”
Iván credits the HubSpot team with helping Posizionate to position itself as an authority in the inbound sector. “From the beginning, our HubSpot channel account manager worked to ensure that we had a deep understanding of the software and the methodology. That made it a lot easier to show potential clients the benefits of our services. Our HubSpot channel consultant is great as well. He helps us to get our clients the results they need, so they are more likely to sign up for long-term retainer contracts. We’re still in regular contact with him, and his strategic advice is invaluable.”
“Thanks to the HubSpot Partner Program, we’ve become more effective while cutting down on our workload.”- Iván Gil
