How to Craft a Brand Manifesto [Guide + Examples]
In Simon Sinek ’s famous Ted Talk “ How great leaders inspire action ”, he fleshes out a concept that some of the most inspiring leaders and organizations -- specifically Apple, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Wright Brothers -- leveraged to build loyal followings. It’s called Start With Why . Start With Why suggests that if your brand truly wants to inspire an audience to follow you, your core message should focus on your organization’s purpose -- not how you make your product or what your product is. Spotlighting why people should care about your organization is how Apple, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Wright Brothers ultimately built a body of support for their causes, even though they all faced fierce competitors. Simon Sinek’s notion that people buy the “why” behind your organization, not the “what” or “how”, isn’t some idealistic trend catching fire in the business world today.

How to Find your Dream Job in 2019
I remember sitting in one of my career classes in college listening to my professor tell the class how long it can take to find a job. “Sometimes you’re completely qualified for the positions in which you’re applying for, yet it can take several months to find the right position,” he said. My professor wasn’t kidding. I started applying for my first job six months prior to graduation, and it took me all six months to find one I was excited about accepting. Then, when I began the search for my second job, it took me closer to nine months from the moment I decided it was time to start searching for new roles to the call I received with the job offer I accepted. Long story short — searching for a new job isn’t always an easy process. It has the potential to become stressful, time-consuming, and frustrating. But no fear! We’ve created this guide to help you through the process and make it a bit less intimidating. We’ll review the first 10 things you should do when you begin your search
How We Grew Our Organic Reach 185% on Facebook
In 2018, Facebook enacted some algorithm changes that negatively impacted a brand's ability to reach its audience organically. HubSpot's Latin America & Iberia Marketing team were no exception to this. Despite having half a million Spanish-speaking fans on our Facebook page, we realized we were barely able to reach one percent of them -- which is pretty shocking, if you think about it. That meant, despite years of work building up our Facebook audience on the platform, that we weren't even able to communicate with our fans when we had something interesting to say. Unless, of course, we paid. But, from our perspective, paying to talk to people who already know about HubSpot, and presumably already like us, didn't sound the right thing to do. It also didn't seem to align with our goal of creating sustainable, genuine connections with our audience. After months of suffering a down-trend on our Facebook numbers, and finding out about an increasing number
