Where It All Started

In 2009, Bluleadz CEO Eric Baum noticed a shift in the ways companies could market to their customers. After digging deeper into what this evolution consisted of, he discovered the power of inbound marketing thanks to HubSpot TV. 

Cut to over 14 years later: Bluleadz stands tall in the HubSpot Solutions Partner space as an early adopter of the inbound methodology. As an elite HubSpot agency, Bluleadz continues to educate and guide companies on how to set up their HubSpot hubs and implement inbound in everything they do. 

Since its founding, Bluleadz has grown in size while delivering the results clients deserve, influencing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and generating millions of leads.
