Optimizing HubSpot to Build a Fully Self-Sufficient Marketing Team That Drives Growth

Client Overview

Impossible Foods is a global food producer developing plant-based substitutes for meat products, best known for its signature Impossible Burger. The company serves a complex, dual audience of both direct consumers (B2C) and business partners (B2B), including restaurants and distributors. As a high-growth, innovative brand, Impossible Foods relies on its digital marketing to drive engagement and loyalty across its diverse market segments.

"Mole Street has been such a great partner in helping us make the most of HubSpot as a tool, with a limited in-house staff. They act like extended members of our team, helping us navigate our HubSpot renewal and helping clean up our database so we can use it to better advantage. They replaced another agency and I can’t recommend Mole Street enough."

The Challenge

Impossible Foods' email marketing program, a critical channel for its B2B and B2C audiences, was constrained by technical glitches, resource limitations, and operational complexity. The marketing team needed a partner who could solve urgent performance issues while building a scalable foundation for growth, all during a period of significant brand transformation.

Critical Email Performance Issues

A persistent clipping bug was distorting engagement metrics and harming campaign performance. Mole Street rebuilt email templates to resolve the issue, ensuring accurate data and reliable rendering across clients.

Internal Resource Constraints

Limited capacity and HubSpot expertise created execution bottlenecks for the internal team. Mole Street provided senior-level support to stabilize operations, translate strategy into workflows, and equip the team for faster deployment.

Disconnected B2B and B2C Marketing

Separate systems for B2B and B2C efforts caused inefficiencies and inconsistencies. Mole Street unified campaigns under a single HubSpot framework, standardizing workflows, data, and reporting to improve alignment and brand continuity.

Immediate Technical and Creative Resolution

Mole Street quickly identified and resolved critical email issues that were suppressing engagement and distorting performance data. Rendering reliability was restored across clients, tracking accuracy improved, and confidence in the email channel was reestablished.
