Don't be Shy

Great team and company

It's always a pleasure working with Joe Davis and Don't be Shy. Thanks so much for your help and positive vibes. You've always taken the time to help me when I run into difficulties. Look forward to continue to build our relationship with this fantastic group of people.

Strategic thinking and genuine partnership

It's not very often that you find an agency that is as keen to know as much as you before they recommend anything. DBS were fantastic - not only helping us switch to HubSpot for our main lead & content management, but also ensuring that we used the platform as effectively as possible. They took time to understand our objectives, challenges and audiences and then built out a phased content led, result based marketing plan - relevant to our audiences, our brand and budgets and tracked through HubSpot. A true B2B strategic thinking agency.

HubSpot instance audit

We engaged with Don't Be Shy to audit our HubSpot instance and provide a full implementation plan. Throughout the entire experience the plan and structure was clear, with the workshop and audit providing excellent actionable insight. The account management team did a great job keeping momentum throughout the project. Despite the challenges of lock down Don't Be Shy were innovative and agile in getting the job done - including a workshop conducted entirely online! I would highly recommend Don't Be Shy for any HubSpot related work (as well as anything else!), and look forward to working with them in the future.

Talented energetic team and great to work with.

We originally took Don't be Shy on to do our rebrand, create a new website and revitalise our marketing efforts. When they were appointed, we were in the middle of a Dynamics rollout, which we were finding to be difficult and clunky. Upon consulting Don't be Shy, they told us about HubSpot Sales and their implementation process, and we felt it was the right way to go. They helped us through the onboarding process, and implemented the CRM for us, ensuring our data could flow into the new platform and everything was setup to ensure the business could continue reporting as it needed to. The Don't be Shy team also ran informative and interactive training sessions to assist with internal rollout. The whole thing ran very smoothly and has been gratefully received by our internal team. We're now starting 'Phase 2', which will take our use of the platform to a more advanced level, and is set to massively increase the day-to-day productivity of the team.

Best agency for automation strategy and execution

The level of complexity and personalization of the nurture streams built by Don’t be Shy took our activity to the next level. Personalization being the critical element. Our main objective with these nurture streams was to closely support our trial and community edition users towards an ‘automation first’ mindset. And from the moment they downloaded our software, we were able to offer them tailored guidance along the whole of their RPA journey. The results have completely surpassed our expectations.

Clearly skilled team, would highly recommend

We began working with Don’t be Shy in late 2018 and they have made huge changes to the way we use HubSpot. Before, I don’t think we were really making the most of the automation features. Now we have our email campaigns set up in workflows that allow prospects to be nurtured with content that’s appropriate to their interest, and stage in the funnel. They’ve done a lot of work with our database which has allowed us to better segment our data for campaigns, create more personalized email content, and more easily allocate MQLs to the appropriate sales person in our global team. We work with customers all over the world, and Don’t be Shy has helped guide us to collect, store, and use data in a way that is compliant with the regulations of each country or region (eg GDPR). The whole team is friendly and clearly skilled in each of their individual disciplines. I would strongly recommend working with Don’t be Shy.

Great team to work with

Don't Be Shy have been fundamental in helping us take our relatively new business to the next level, transforming our approaches to both b2b and b2c marketing. They recommended HubSpot as a tool that would work well for our business and since moving to it we haven't looked back. They know HubSpot inside out, and have been great at helping us optimise how we use the platform to get the most out of it. They are always on hand to help with our queries and provide honest, insightful advice when needed. Couldn't recommend them more!

Great team to work with

After reviewing a handful of HubSpot partners in the North West, we picked Don't be Shy to help us migrate from Salesforce, onboard us onto HubSpot and help us plan our content marketing strategy. They have great technical knowledge of the platform, which made the migration as smooth as possible. Plus, clearly from a strong B2B tech background, they quickly understood our business and requirements. A great team that has helped us meet some tight deadlines throughout the project; I'd recommend them to any small-mid size B2B business looking to start out or scale up.

Such a hardworking team.

We first started to work with Don’t Be Shy when our business was quite new. They were like a breath of fresh air and always looked at our issues with really commercially with clear results in mind. We used several different platforms for our mailing, CRM and social media. Don’t Be She introduced us to HubSpot because they were convinced that it would save us time and money. Mostly however they were sure it would help us to keep better control of what we were doing and make us money. They were spot on! They have a wealth of experience with HubSpot and helped us to easily and seamlessly move everything we do in terms of marketing to HubSpot. We are seeing the benefit on a daily bases.

Highly Recommend

We brought on Don't be Shy to modernise our marketing and rejuvenate our website and brand. A year later, we've got a fully functioning, lead generating content marketing machine and we're really seeing the results. They set up HubSpot Marketing for us from start to finish, and now we're looking at moving to the CRM too. Throughout the whole process Don't be Shy have been responsive, professional and always on hand for expert advice. They really care about quality of output too which is appreciated. I would Highly recommended DBS.
