Launched in April 2024, Content Hub is the HubSpot platform’s new content marketing application, including a variety of powerful tools to help you create, manage, and distribute your content assets through digital marketing channels. As you’d expect from a HubSpot application, Content Hub is easy to pick up but has a huge wealth of features to help you create and manage content at scale. In this article, we’ll look at the main benefits of Content Hub and how it can help elevate your content marketing strategy.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
HubSpot describes its Content Hub as “all in one, AI-powered content marketing software”, and it lives up to this claim by providing an easy access point to AI-powered marketing for businesses who may not be familiar with AI and the associated technologies. AI tools include generative AI (GenAI), lead capturing tools, flexible video podcast hosting, search engine optimisation, and a scalable CMS, as well as intelligent analytics and reporting features. There is no obligation to use the GenAI tools; Content Hub can be used to centralise and manage content assets from any source, from handwritten blogs and purchased content to podcasts, videos, e-books, and AI-generated images, within a single repository.
2. Integration capabilities
HubSpot’s Content Hub integrates effortlessly with all the other tools and hubs in the HubSpot ecosystem, as well as a wide range of third-party platforms and tools, creating a unified content management architecture for your business. These integrations allow smooth data flows between different systems and content sources, improving workflow efficiency and allowing your team and any agency partners to focus more on creative content strategies than technical hurdles.
3. User-friendly interface
The Content Hub has an intuitive design and easy-to-navigate dashboard, making it accessible to users of all experience levels, whether using a PC, a laptop, or a mobile device. This streamlined UI simplifies the process of creating, editing, updating, and managing content, with clear navigation and straightforward functionalities. This speeds up the content creation and management process by reducing the learning curve for new users, making it easy to transition from other content creation platforms, such as MS Word or WordPress.
4. Content automation and personalisation
At first glance, content ‘automation’ and ‘personalisation’ might seem like contradictions in terms, but Content Hub manages to square the circle by supporting highly personalised content delivery alongside automated workflows. The platform uses sophisticated algorithms (AI again) to suggest the appropriate content for your buyer personas and target audience segments so that each content asset, email, article, or video resonates strongly with its intended recipient. The content itself can be created manually, generated by the platform’s GenAI tools, or curated in an ‘assisted writing’ process.
The platform can also automate numerous routine content marketing tasks, such as scheduling blog article publications, updating your social media feeds, and sending out links to gated content (e.g. downloadable guides) following inbound requests through your website or a paid advert.
