We were rolling up our business suit pant legs and jumping for joy in the waters of Lake Geneva for getting more than our feet wet with inbound marketing and being successful at it. We'd love to tell you all about it, but it's much easier when someone has already done the work for you, eh? No sense reinventing the wheel. We actually become a case study ourselves when Hubspot did a case study on Trust eMedia and featured it on their website.
It's one thing to make successful case studies out of your clients, but it's another when the marketing company is a cases study themselves. Hats off to our hard work!
Here's what they said about Trust eMedia:
For businesses just starting out with inbound marketing, we
often advise to dip a toe in by starting out with just one
component (e.g. blogging, social media, video) before trying out
another. So when we come across a company that does it all
right from the get-go, needless to say, we're impressed.
Last month, we launched our first-ever Inbound Marketer of the Month contest on the HubSpot Facebook fan page. Our goal was to recognize companies that have been doing great things with inbound marketing, and the contest generated some awesome success stories.
The Inbound Marketer of the Month winner for June 2010, Trust eMedia, is a great example of how a company can use an integrated inbound marketing campaign to go from having no website to ranking on the first results page of Google in just a couple of months.
Let's take a look at what Trust eMedia did to achieve its success.
