Add narration module to your blog

 
We are totally excited about this great update! Remember the previous update where it became possible to add an audio module? Well, from now on you can use those modules to automatically generate an audio version of your blog within HubSpot itself.
This (beta) feature converts the content of your blog post into 'text-to-speech' audio via an embedded module, and you can even choose from different voices! We're totally fans!
Mind you, as with all AI, we note that this functionality obviously works better in English than in, say, Dutch.
 
Tip: Don't forget to update your blog template by your developer to use the audio module.

Available for: Professional, Enterprise licenses

HubSpot is on fire with AI updates! It is now possible to activate an AI assistant in Ads. This helps you create ad texts from scratch with simple instructions for Google search ads.

How to use it.

Suppose you need to launch a campaign to promote your product. You want to use paid media for this but have never created an ad text before. With the AI Assistant, you get help by giving simple instructions. For example,"Write a compelling ad where it highlights the benefits of our new product. Use a light-hearted writing style.".

Add your own titles to AI blog generator

Let's go deeper into personalizing AI presentations. From now on, you can customize your titles in the AI blog post. Previously, it was not possible to change a suggested title to your preferences; you could only generate more.

The AI blog post generator is top for users who don't know exactly what they want to write about. But suppose you actually do have clear ideas and have several chapters already in your head? However, you would still like to generate text for these specific titles. Well, then this is the ideal middle ground.

LinkedIn audience targeting

LinkedIn targeting allows you to tailor content to specific audiences. It is possible to target your posts based on your followers' profile information, such as organization size, industry, job title, experience, geography and language preference.

Targeted posts are actively displayed only to members who fall within the target criteria. If that message is shared or reposted, then members outside the target audience can see the message.

Used case

You want to promote a new drink in the food & beverage industry. By using post targeting you can target your message to this industry-in this case focused on hospitality business owners. This allows you to reach exactly the people most likely to be interested in your products, resulting in more effective interaction and potentially more sales

Caution:

LinkedIn requires your page to have at least 300 followers to enable targeting.

Available for: Professional and Enterprise

Personalise your cookie banner now

No more boring cookies! From now on you can fully customize your cookies to make sure your banner perfectly matches the design of your website. Choose your favorite colors, play with the position, change the shape, and even determine the size of the banner.
