We readily acknowledge that this was not a scientific survey. But without question, it did highlight the best marketing companies.  HubSpot is a superb marketing firm and Marketo is very good as well.  Several of the others are strong too.  And companies like Neolane are not very good marketers.

I believe the result are valid, but they are not scientific.  This served as a great entertainment piece for about 500 people in one week.

Hope you enjoyed it and I’d love to hear what you think of it.  We read all comments and respond to every one.
