This growth in adoption is taken from our annual report on inbound marketing in the UK. That growth is unquestionably based on the success brands are having with inbound marketing, with one in two marketers seeing a greater ROI from their inbound efforts than they did in the previous year.
There is no doubt this success helps to create trust in a marketer’s inbound marketing plans.
