The following is the text of an email sent to all HubSpot customers today by HubSpot founders Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah.
Dear HubSpot Customer,
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Today, HubSpot has acquired Performable, the most innovative marketing automation software provider on the market.
This acquisition will enable us to do three exciting new things:
1. Deliver the world’s best MoFu (Middle of the Funnel) functionality. Think advanced landing page optimization, sophisticated audience segmentation, event-based triggering of lead nurturing emails, and powerful analytics that will super-charge your ability to manage all of the leads you’re generating through HubSpot.
2. Grow with you. Our existing product was designed with small to medium-sized businesses in mind. Performable’s technology, designed for bigger businesses, will make it possible for HubSpot to serve you as you grow.
3. Evolve faster. We’re welcoming 18 stellar new employees to HubSpot. This includes some of the world’s best product development and user experience professionals, as well as David Cancel, CEO and co-founder of Performable and co-founder and Compete.com. David will be HubSpot’s new Chief Product Officer. HubSpot customers who want to access Performable functionality immediately can purchase the product starting today.
If you’d like to learn more about Performable and how it works with your existing HubSpot, please join us for a webinar and live Performable demonstration on June 28 at 1pm EST. Of course, if you purchase Performable now and prices rise after it’s combined with HubSpot, we will grandfather you into today’s prices.
Finally, we’d like to thank you for being a loyal HubSpot customer and for helping to make us one of the fastest-growing, most innovative companies on the planet. Please keep telling us what we can do better and don’t hesitate to ask questions or share your thoughts about this news on our customer blog or in the Success forums.
Sincerely,
Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah
