CMS Hub becomes Content Hub. Everything you need to know.

Written by Mathilde Vanelsacker | May 3, 2024 10:29:30 AM

In this blog post, we dive deeper into the launch of Content Hub within HubSpot. We'll look at the key benefits, features and pricing, and review what exactly is changing for CMS Hub users.

Why is CMS Hub changing to Content Hub in HubSpot?

The change from CMS Hub to Content Hub in HubSpot is a strategic move for marketers. HubSpot has listened to its marketers and started from their pain points.

One of the main pain points for marketers is that all their tools are scattered and they lose track. Today, they are expected to produce large volumes of content at the speed of light in order to keep up with the latest trends. This content has to demonstrate their expertise, be available in different formats and be continuously updated. Quite a bread and butter, in other words.

The change from CMS Hub to Content Hub in HubSpot is a strategic move to focus more on content creation and management. Content Hub offers advanced tools and functionalities specifically designed to help companies centralize, organize and distribute their content all supported by AI.

Content hub is an all-in-one, AI-supported content marketing software that helps marketers create and manage content that supports the entire customer journey.

 

What will change with the new Content Hub?

  1. One of the major changes taking place is that CMS Hub is now part of the new Content Hub. HubSpot will no longer reference CMS Hub and current website tools will now be found as tools within Content Hub.
  2. This integration brings website management, content tools, AI tools and more together under one roof. This will make it easier for marketers to create even more content and track data.
  3. What will change for current HubSpot users using CMS Hub? For existing CMS Hub customers, nothing will change with the launch of Content Hub. If you currently have CMS Hub and want to continue using it, you can renew your CMS Hub subscription, but will not have the new Content Hub features. If you do want the new features, you can upgrade to the new Content Hub for a small additional cost.
  4. Landing pages and blogs will now be found in Content Hub and no longer in Marketing Hub.

New features within Content Hub

Content Hub introduces several new features that make managing and managing content even easier. Thus, a distinction is made between features for content creation and features for content management. Some of these features are:

New features for content creation:

  • Content repurposing tool or HubSpot's Content Remix is a new tool that helps you create more content even easier. Have a great blog but also want to share it in a social post, image, podcast,...? You can!
  • Create your own podcasts. Write them yourself or have them generated using AI. New content, new audience!
  • Brand voice tool. Using a consistent "brand voice" across all channels is important for building trust and recognition. Thus, you define your own "brand voice" which is then integrated into the AI tool. This allows you to apply your unique tone of voice consistently across all channels.

New features for content management:

  • Video management right in Content Hub. This way your videos are in the same place as your content, making it easy to integrate them into content. You can add your own forms or CTAs. By centralizing this, you can also view reports on your video views to analyze what best suits your target audience.
  • Memberships & gated content. With these tools, you can engage your audience with exclusive content and generate high-quality leads through the memberships and gated content features. You can also use the content library to offer exclusive digital assets.Like, for example, requesting certain data for exclusive audio, video, PDFs and more.
