News, Articles & Knowledge

Every month we review all the newest functionality updates that HubSpot has released to ensure we are completely up to date and can share all the most important and exciting news with you as soon as it is available.

Innovation Visual are proud to announce that we will now be working with Social Asking. Social Asking have created an intelligent new tool that allows organisations to connect to their audiences and fan bases.

Another year, another win for our incredible team at Innovation Visual. This year, we are finalists in the European Search Awards, in their ‘Best Use of Search – eCommerce’ category. This entry highlights our extensive work with Joseph’s Wigs. Whether it's for a medical reason or even fashion, they offer wigs perfect for a variety of situations. The company has a great message and supports people facing medical hardships, and we couldn't be more proud to support them.

For general reporting and analysis, the HubSpot built-in reports are great! We use them all the time at and they’ve become an invaluable tool for us to use daily. However, with a recent release, we’re now able to expand what we can do with our HubSpot data even further and we’re really excited about it.

For some time now Google Chrome and other browsers like Safari have been rolling out updates which have been increasing the restrictions placed on third party cookies, and even first party cookies to a degree. Safari was one the first to bring in these changes (on a large scale), but they also have less to lose from these kinds of restrictions. And Microsoft Edge, we don’t really care about (we’ll let you look this up).

Soon things are about to change, drastically! Google Chrome is going to start to ‘phase out’ third party cookies, natively. The intention is to do this within two years; however, changes could come sooner.  But what effect will this have on marketers and where will this leave adtech companies which are solely reliant on these cookies to function?

Every business seeks accurate data. Accurate data can be transformed into useful insights that guide your overall strategy. You may rely on Google Analytics for accurate and reliable website data however if this is the case; you need to be aware of something called ‘dark traffic’. Although dark traffic can go mostly under the radar, it’s likely having a huge effect on the quality and accuracy of your data.
