For years, marketers relied on a simple concept: the funnel. It was neat, linear, and predictable—awareness at the top, purchase at the bottom. But let’s be honest: that world no longer exists.
Customers no longer follow a straight path. They jump between TikTok and LinkedIn, search engines and AI assistants, podcasts and review sites. Google reports that 60% of searches now end without a click, thanks to AI summaries and zero-click search. The traditional funnel leaks.
That’s why HubSpot has introduced the HubSpot Marketing Loop—a fresh, AI-ready playbook designed for today’s disrupted landscape. And as a HubSpot Elite Partner, N/C is uniquely positioned to help UK businesses harness it for smarter, faster, and more sustainable growth.
Why the Old Funnel Doesn’t Work Anymore
The funnel was designed in a pre-AI world where:
Today’s reality looks very different:
In short, the funnel is outdated. Growth now requires a system that learns, adapts, and compounds. Enter: the HubSpot Loop.
The HubSpot Loop is a new growth framework that replaces the funnel with a continuous cycle of improvement. It’s designed for a world where AI, personalisation, and omnichannel engagement are the norm.
The playbook is built on four interconnected stages:
Unlike the funnel, the loop never ends. It compounds—building momentum, deepening trust, and accelerating growth.
The HubSpot Marketing Loop thrives because it reflects how people actually engage today:
The result? Growth that compounds, not stagnates.
HubSpot has launched a suite of new tools to bring the Loop Marketing framework to life. Here’s how they align with each stage:
