The HubSpot agency trusted by Events, B2B Media and growing B2B companies.

Ricardo is a uniquely valuable adviser and project leader. I have used his company BrightBull both as a consulting subcontractor and within my own businesses, and their work is always timely, creative, high quality and effective. Strong marketing consultants are very hard to find!

Ricardo himself is to my mind the leading expert in sourcing, specifying and implementing cutting edge marketing automation systems in a cost effective manner. He has a particular expertise in integrating social media and content marketing with the wider direct marketing systems, and has added huge value to the Global Transport Forum in terms of lead generation, content quality, production values and brand value.

Look no further!

Ricardo is an inspirational teacher and coach. 

Some of the marketing thought process Ricardo taught me over a decade ago is still used today to drive individuals and teams to be the best they can. 

He can sit down with you (or your team) and have an open, honest conversation on your career, or he can give your team modern marketing tools and trends to stay on top of the game.

Recently Ricardo flew over to our Dubai office to facilitate a Marketing Away Day. The topic addressed was 'Content marketing to drive leads and registrations'. The day went exceptionally well with attendees leaving enthused, inspired and with lots of practical ideas to implement. Ricardo met all my objectives, shared great advice and new insights. Thank you Ricardo. I will keep on reading your blog to keep up to date with marketing issues in the events industry.

I still fondly remember your advice and counsel in the very early days and I often remind many people I speak to just how important it was that we started the venture on Hubspot. 

At every turn it was a game changer, and for that we will always be immensely grateful to you for you advice during that first phase of strategic direction. It’s very easy for me to recommend you as I genuinely am very grateful for the time you spent with Terry and I am delighted that my recommendations have influenced others to work with you and benefit from your sage advice. 

When i hear the word tech stack, CRM, Mail Chimp etc, it still makes me shudder so referring people to Hubspot and your good self is an easy referral.

We hired BrightBull to innovate our bog standard event marketing with a view to developing our online content brand and driving content led marketing to generate, foster and convert leads across sponsorship, exhibition, delegates and exhibition visitors. 

Not only have we established a great online content brand and community and improved on our event marketing, we're also generating far more leads of a far higher quality with clear processes to nurture and convert these leads in the most appropriate manner. This has massively boosted the role of marketing within the organisation which is now a well oiled machine and BrightBull has given us a clear framework to ensure that our marketing continues to improve and go from strength to strength. It has also been a relief to reduce the burden on outbound sales. 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BrightBull and look forward to seeing how their ideas develop over time as I certainly think they have a lot to offer to any media and event businesses that are looking to push their marketing ahead of the curve."
