HubSpot Video
According to Wyzowl, when both video and text are available on the same page, 72% of people would rather use video to learn about a product or service. With this need for focussing on video in mind, HubSpot has launched a series of tools for video creation, hosting, management and measurement throughout its marketing, sales and service hubs. Among the features are built-in video CTAs and one-to-one video messages for sales and customer service contact.

Service Hub
In our marketing savvy world, people are naturally wary of company communications. People do trust other customers, though, and are far more likely to buy a product or service from a customer recommendation. As such, it's important to keep customers happy, which is what the HubSpot Service Hub is designed for. Among the features its gives customer service teams are goals, playbooks and account health scoring.
