In this episode, I sit down with Christina Garnett, Senior Marketing Manager, Offline Community & Advocacy at Hubspot.

We talk about scaling a community from startup to IPO, how to maintain engagement quality and the basic makeup of a customer advisory board that feeds company growth.

Christina and I also talk about #MarketingTwitter and our thresholds for hitting that block button.
