Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot, marketing strategy and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.
I’m involved with two agencies in Sydney:
I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.
After an (unintended) 6 week break*, Ian and I are back with a new episode of HubShots – our HubSpot focussed podcast (and now YouTube show).
