HubSpot Content Hub comes with a ton of exciting new AI-driven features and tools - here's a look at our favorites.

What is HubSpot Content Hub?

HubSpot Content Hub is an all-in-one content marketing software designed to help marketers create, manage, and personalize content across the entire customer journey.

This Hub from HubSpot includes AI-powered tools for content creation, a centralized hub for managing content assets, and analytics to optimize content performance. The best part is it's all integrated with the rest of the HubSpot smart CRM platform.

Here at Growth Spurt, we love Content Hub because it's a huge help to simplify content management and deliver tailored content experiences to your target audience.

Content Creation and Management Just Got Easier

HubSpot Content Hub helps with both content creation and management and here's how.

Content Creation: 

  • AI-Powered Tools: Content Hub includes AI capabilities to generate and personalize content, making it easier to create compelling and relevant material for specific audiences. 
  • Dynamic Content: Marketers can create dynamic and personalized content experiences that resonate with their audience's needs and preferences.
  • Content Optimization: This new Hub provides tools to optimize content based on CRM data and analytics, ensuring that content is impactful throughout the customer journey. 

Content Management:

  • Centralized Hub: Content Hub serves as a single source of truth for all content assets, allowing marketers to easily manage, update, and distribute content from one place.
  • Workflow Streamlining: By centralizing content management, it streamlines workflows and ensures everyone in the organization has access to the most up-to-date and relevant content.
  • Asset Management: Marketers can efficiently organize and categorize content assets, maintaining consistency and alignment with overall content strategy.

What Are The Best New Tools and Features?

Brand Voice (watch demo): As marketers, we know the importance of a consistent brand voice. Brands often define a distinct personality and style of communication that they'll use across content and interactions.

The challenge is it can be hard to keep this brand voice consistent throughout your blogs, emails, social media posts, and other channels. HubSpot's brand voice feature helps marketers maintain this consistency and authenticity at scale. By analyzing existing content, the AI-powered assistant captures your brand's tone and style.

Users can add examples like a company mission and other documents that capture your brand's voice. Then, just highlight your text and enable brand voice to edit your copy to apply your brand voice.

This allows for easy creation and editing of on-brand content, ensuring every piece resonates with your audience. This not only strengthens brand identity but also streamlines content creation processes, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing productivity across diverse teams and contributors.

AI Blog Generation (watch demo): If you write for your company blog, you know how much time goes into an article...Until now! With this new AI-powered tool, creating content complete with keyword and SEO insights is a breeze.

Content marketers can now leverage this tool to set up a blog in minutes. Just walk through the steps to provide a topic, select a title, and key sections. Then, sit back and let the tool do the rest as it will create your very own blog post. 

Talk about a time-saver!

AI Blog Generation

 

Blog Narration (watch demo): Content Hub also arms you with the ability to transform your blog post with blog narration. After you've finalized your blog post, users are given the ability to generate a narration of the post. The best part is how realistic and natural the AI narration sounds.

Content Remix (watch demo): This is my absolute favorite new tool included with Content Hub! Content Remix is a powerful tool designed for efficient content repurposing across various channels.

Rather than spending days creating one individual piece of content and that's it, Content Remix enables you to quickly adapt and reuse this content for different platforms like social media, blogs, images, and marketing emails.

Start with your first piece of content - like a blog post. Then, select the additional assets you'd like to create from your blog post and Content Remix goes to work drafting additional content from your original piece of content.

This is one you need to see in action to grasp its full power. Make sure to check out the included demo.

Member Blogs (watch demo): Member blogs are another new feature included in Content Hub that provides flexible access controls for restricting content to specific individuals or groups.

This feature enables users to designate access to a selected list of contacts. Also, there's a new self-registration option where visitors must register before viewing content, ensuring controlled access to your blog content.

This opens up a world of possibilities and use cases for HubSpot users.

AI Translations (watch demo): Content Hub's AI translation tool allows marketers to easily translate any website content (blogs, landing pages, website pages) into different languages.

Unlike typical translation software that lacks linguistic nuances, this tool leverages DeepL's advanced AI technology. This means the translations are more natural and contextually relevant.

Content Embed (watch demo): Marketing is headed in a direction that's more relevant and personalized than ever before and this new feature is here to help.

With Content Embed, HubSpot users can personalize the customer experience on their website without having to write code. Instead, users can leverage the data in their HubSpot smart CRM and build them into content sections on their website.

That way, you can easily provide a personalized copy experience for all of your different buyer personas.

Content Embed

 

Podcasts (watch demo): This new tool has everything you need to produce and host your podcast on your HubSpot platform and distribute it to major streaming services such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

When creating a new podcast episode in HubSpot, users can choose to upload their own pre-recorded audio files or utilize AI-generated audio to easily create one from scratch.

About the Author

Hi, I’m Tony! I'm the owner of Growth Spurt, a digital marketing agency specializing in helping B2B tech startups grow. I started Growth Spurt because I saw too many good companies using the same inbound playbook we've been using as marketers for the last fifteen years, despite radical changes in the profession. We're now facing what I call the Four Horsemen of the Inbound Apocalypse: 1. The overwhelming volume of blog articles and videos competing to rank on Google and capture your audience's attention 2. Changes to Google's search engine results page to emphasize ads over the organic listings 3. Algorithmic social media timelines designed to keep users on the platform instead of clicking through to your website 4. And finally, generative AI, which will lead to more content than ever competing against yours So, what does this all mean for your business? Unless you modernize your inbound marketing strategy, it means less traffic to your website, fewer leads, and less revenue. The number one goal is no longer getting to the first page on Google. Instead, you have to meet your audience where they are, publish content on platform, and build a community in these places. If you need help, let's chat. We'd love to meet you and learn about your business.
