Uberflip / HubSpot

HubSpot Turns to Uberflip’s Content Marketing Platform to Digitize eBooks

I came across an article talking about how HubSpot, the leader in inbound marketing and online marketing automation, is going to use Uberflip’s content marketing platform to digitize their eBooks and improve them significantly.

Hubspot’s technologies are cool enough as it is in terms of providing marketers with great insight into the effectiveness of their online marketing efforts and how to optimize them. Part of the reason they have succeeded in doing this is their generation of original content for marketers explaining strategies for increasing the effectiveness of their marketing efforts and how they can use HubSpot’s tools to do so.

Uberflip is exciting because they have a solution that allows you to digitize the content you generate for optimized viewing / reading on tablets and smart phones. Not only do they allow one to create eBook experiences that can leverage links, video and social media integration, they provide exceptional analytics on what specific content the readers care about, how they interact with it, and better evaluate individual writer’s and how they can improve.


To me, this is exciting for the future of the print media industry as a solution like this should hopefully allow content creators, who have been suffering in recent years, to both better monetize their content and generate content readers value. Imagine reading Sports Illustrated in a magazine like experience on your device while being able to easily engage with the content by watching interactive video or being able to share aspects of the content on social media channels while still in the structure of a traditional print document and not a web page. I’m excited by the idea and interested to see where it goes.
