INSIDEA
Brand Guidelines · v3.0

The single source of truth for how INSIDEA shows up.

Strategic foundation. Visual identity. Voice. Motion. Applications. Components. Partner brand. If something carries the INSIDEA name, it follows what is here. Built to be used, not admired.

Owner Pratik Thakker, Founder & CEOCustodian INSIDEA Brand TeamLast reviewed May 10, 2026
01 / Foundation

Confident, direct, warm, strategic. Builder energy throughout.

Three statements anchor the brand: why we exist, where we are going, what we do today. Four principles hold every piece of INSIDEA work together. Three taglines, one master, one mid-length, one signature line.

Why we exist

Modern businesses deserve a growth operating system, not a stack of vendors.

Most companies stitch together agencies, freelancers, and consultants. The seams show. INSIDEA replaces the seams with a single operating system: CRM, RevOps, AI, and growth marketing run by senior teams on a shared cadence. The result is compounding outcomes instead of recurring overhead.

Where we are going

The default growth operating system for the world's modern businesses.

By 2030, INSIDEA is the partner that ambitious companies pick first when they decide to build a real revenue engine. The brand is global, the team is senior on every account, and the work compounds for clients across years, not quarters.

What we do today

We ship the system, then keep it running.

Implementation, retainer, embedded, outcome-based. Four engagement models, one operating cadence. Every engagement starts with a senior strategy call and ships in two-week sprints. We work in your tools, not behind a vendor portal.

Principles
Builder energy

We are building something. We talk like the team building the company, not consultants reading from a deck. Our copy reads like the inside of a working company.

Outcome led

Every claim ties to a number, a credential, or a customer name. We anchor in proof, not adjectives. If a sentence doesn't help the reader make a decision, it gets cut.

Senior first

Confident, specific, and never hedging. Our voice sounds like the senior expert who runs the engagement, because that is who is on every account.

Forward looking

We are pointed at where we are going. Resilient and intentional. Strategy is our register; nostalgia is not.

Tagline tier
Master positioning

"World's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner. The growth operating system for modern businesses."

Use in announcements, press releases, hero sections, formal partnerships, founder bios.

Tagline (mid-length)

"The growth operating system."

Use in mid-page hero, sub-headers, social bios, podcast intros, decks.

Signature line

"Senior team. Sprint cadence. Ship."

Use as a sign-off in emails, on swag, at the end of a deck, in social copy.

02 / The story

Two paragraphs anyone can copy.

For press, partners, and any external mention. Use the short version in announcements, the long version in formal materials.

Short (50 words)

INSIDEA is the world's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner and the growth operating system for modern businesses. Founded in 2022, we serve 1,500+ businesses across 25+ countries with 150+ specialists across HubSpot implementation, RevOps, AI, and growth marketing.

Long (150 words)

INSIDEA was founded in 2022 to fix a structural problem: ambitious companies were stitching together agencies, freelancers, and consultants, and the seams were showing. In just a few years, INSIDEA has scaled into the world's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner with 150+ specialists across 25+ countries, serving 1,500+ businesses globally. The team operates as one connected system across HubSpot implementation, RevOps, AI, and growth marketing. Customers stop juggling vendors and start running a revenue engine that compounds. The roadmap is the same shape it was on day one, just at much larger scale: build the operating system that modern businesses deserve, ship it in weeks, then keep it running.

03 / Audience

Same brand, four calibrations.

We sound differently to a CEO than to a RevOps leader. The voice is the same; the calibration shifts. Four audience profiles with how to open, what proof points hit, what to avoid, and a sample sentence.

The Founder / CEO
How we open

Open with the strategic frame. What is the system this person is trying to build, and what does INSIDEA replace.

What proof points hit

Customer outcomes at similar stage, founder testimonials, time-to-impact numbers.

Never say

Tactical feature lists. Long methodology explanations. Tool-specific jargon.

Sample line

"You are scaling a revenue engine, not buying tools. We replace the agency-vendor patchwork with one senior team running the whole system."

The CMO / Head of Marketing
How we open

Open with the marketing motion you are running and where the bottleneck is. We frame ourselves as the team that removes that bottleneck.

What proof points hit

Pipeline lift, CAC reduction, attribution clarity. Real campaign metrics from named customers.

Never say

Generic agency claims. "We do everything" positioning. Vanity metrics like impressions or reach.

Sample line

"Most marketing teams are doing the work. The bottleneck is the system underneath. We rebuild the lifecycle layer so what you ship actually compounds."

The RevOps Leader
How we open

Open at the architecture layer. Pipeline shape, deal stages, lifecycle stages, attribution model.

What proof points hit

Forecast accuracy improvements, source-of-truth consolidation, integration depth.

Never say

Agency-language. Anything that sounds like marketing services. Surface-level HubSpot "we do implementations."

Sample line

"RevOps is an architecture problem. We rebuild your CRM the way it should have been built: properties, stages, exit criteria, attribution, all the way to the dashboard your CEO opens on Monday."

The technical buyer / engineer
How we open

Open with the integration architecture and the data model. Get into the underlying APIs and the dual-write patterns.

What proof points hit

Code examples, API depth, named platform partnerships, custom development case studies.

Never say

Marketing rhetoric. Outcomes language without architecture detail. "World-class" anything.

Sample line

"We sync HubSpot and Salesforce as a dual-write architecture, not a one-way pull. Your sales floor and marketing team see the same record at the same moment, and the system does not lie when one platform is down."

04 / What we are not

Sharper positioning by negation.

Five common categorizations that INSIDEA explicitly is not. Each one followed by what we are instead. Use these reframes when prospects, press, or partners default to a wrong category.

Not An agency
An operating system, run by senior specialists. Agencies sell hours; we ship systems that compound.
Not A freelancer marketplace
One connected senior team on every engagement. Freelancers fragment knowledge; we keep it in one place and document it for handoff.
Not A SaaS tool
We work with the tools you already pay for. INSIDEA Labs is our products division, but the core engagement is the team plus the system.
Not A consultancy that walks away after the slides
We ship code, configs, agents, and copy into your live environment. Strategy without execution does not move the metric.
Not A HubSpot reseller
We are HubSpot's Elite Partner because we ship the deepest implementations on the platform. License resale is incidental, not the business.
06 / Color

Three brand colors. Functional palette. Black canvas.

INSIDEA is a dark-first brand. Black is the default canvas, brand colors carry the energy, the gradient anchors the identity, and a functional palette handles state messaging.

Brand palette
Spark Orange
#F3772F

Primary signal. Used for brand accents, CTAs, key states, and the start of the gradient.

Magenta
#C40080

Brand mid-tone. The bridge color in the gradient, used selectively for emphasis.

Plum
#481247

Brand depth. Anchors gradients and pull quotes; used as the closing color in our signature gradient.

Deep Plum
#6E0E6E

Optional accent for layered backgrounds and second-tier emphasis where a flat plum is too heavy.

Signature gradient
linear-gradient(135deg, #F3772F 0%, #C40080 50%, #481247 100%)

Use sparingly for hero accents, primary CTAs, and gradient text effects on key headlines. Never use as a flat background for body content.

Functional palette
Success
#34D17C

Use for positive states: confirmations, success messages, completed steps. Spark Orange remains the default "live" color for brand contexts.

Warning
#FFB04E

Caution states. Approaching limits, expiring trials, soft prompts before destructive actions.

Error
#FF4D4D

Hard error states. Form validation failures, system errors, destructive confirmations.

Info
#5BC5FF

Informational states. Tips, callouts, neutral system messages.

Surface palette (dark canvas)
Black
#0A0A0B

The canvas. Always our default background. INSIDEA is a dark-first brand.

Ink
#131316

Card surfaces and second-layer panels on the dark canvas.

Text
#FFFFFF

Primary type color on dark surfaces.

Mute
rgba(255,255,255,0.62)

Secondary type color for body copy, captions, and helper text on dark surfaces.

08 / Spacing & grid

A 4-point base. Predictable rhythm.

Every spacing decision is a multiple of 4px. Container widths, section padding, card padding, and grid gaps all follow the same set of tokens.

Spacing tokens
4
4px
Hairline gap, icon-to-label spacing.
8
8px
Inline gap between related elements (badge to text, icon to caption).
12
12px
Tight stack between related blocks.
16
16px
Default card internal gap.
24
24px
Card padding (sm). Section sub-divider rhythm.
28
28px
Card padding (md). Default for content cards.
40
40px
Card padding (lg). Hero card padding.
80
80px
Section vertical padding (mobile). Spacing between major page sections.
96
96px
Section vertical padding (desktop). Comfortable rhythm at viewport scale.
Layout rules
Container max-width
1200px
Page-level content sits inside this max-width. Wider hero compositions occasionally bleed full-width but body content holds the 1200.
Container padding
px-6 (mobile) / px-8 (lg)
Container always padded so content never touches the viewport edge.
Section vertical rhythm
py-20 (mobile) / py-24 (lg)
Most sections share this rhythm. Hero and final-CTA sections may use py-28 to py-32 for breathing room.
Card internal padding
p-5 / p-6 / p-7 by hierarchy
Smaller for tertiary cards (p-5), default for content cards (p-6), larger for hero cards (p-7).
Grid gap
gap-4 (sm) / gap-6 (md)
Smaller gap on tight grids, larger on hero card grids.
Base unit
4px
All spacing tokens are multiples of 4px. Never use odd-pixel offsets.
Breakpoints
Name

09 / Components

Buttons, forms, badges, surfaces, prose.

Five component families with rules. Use these patterns directly. Variations exist but should be rare and intentional.

Buttons
Read the methodology
Primary (gradient)
Default CTA. Use once per section maximum. Hero, final CTA, and the most-important action on a page.
Secondary (outline)
Use alongside primary, never alone. Reserved for the second-most-important action on the screen.
Tertiary (text)
In-flow link or supplementary action. No background, no border. Always in Spark Orange.
Form fields
Text input
Rounded-xl border, ink background, line-2 border, focus:border-orange. Placeholder in mute. Padding px-4 py-3.
Textarea
Same as text input but min-height 140px. Resizable vertical only.
Select
Same border treatment. Custom chevron in mute. Padding px-4 py-3.
Checkbox
Square 18px, line-2 border, fill Spark Orange when checked. Label inline-aligned with mt-0.5 to optical-center.
Form label
Text-xs font-semibold uppercase tracking-eyebrow text-mute. Always above the field, never inline-placeholder-only.
Helper / error text
Text-xs font-light. Helper in mute, error in #FF4D4D, success confirmation in #34D17C.
Badges & eyebrows
Eyebrow tag
02 / Section number
Live Pending
Eyebrow tag
Pill border-orange/40 bg-orange/[0.10] px-5 py-2 text-[11px] font-bold uppercase tracking-eyebrow text-orange. Often paired with a pulse dot. Used at the top of section heros.
Section number
Text-[11px] font-semibold uppercase tracking-eyebrow text-orange. Format: "NN / Section name". Used inline above the section H2.
Status pill
Smaller pill rounded-full border-success/30 bg-success/[0.06] text-success. Used for success / live / approved states. Variants: warning, error, info follow the functional palette.
Card surfaces
Default card
Rounded-2xl border border-line-2 bg-ink p-6. Most content cards on the site. Holds copy, lists, small tables.
Hero card
Rounded-2xl border border-orange/30 bg-gradient-to-br from-orange/[0.05] to-transparent p-7. Used for the most-important card in a section (canonical positioning, primary stat, or featured story).
Status card (always / never)
Border-success/30 with a success-tinted gradient for "do" states; border-rose-500/30 with a rose-tinted gradient for "don't" states. Always paired in a 2-column grid.
Hairline divider
Single 1px border-line. Used between rows in a multi-row card. Never used as a decorative element.
Prose elements
Blockquote
Text-3xl font-light leading-snug. Attribution font-mono text-xs uppercase tracking-eyebrow text-mute. No quote marks at the start; quotes are ASCII single-quote characters wrapped around the text.
Bullet list
Use "·" character (middle dot) instead of bullet HTML. Inline-flex with a colored character, then text. Never default browser bullets.
Numbered list
Counter-reset, monospace number prefix in Spark Orange. Always under 7 items per list (use sub-sections beyond that).
Code / inline mono
JetBrains Mono. Used for hex codes, CSS values, file paths, API endpoints. Never for body type.
10 / Iconography

Line icons. Single weight. Inherit color.

Icons live alongside type, never decoratively. Single line weight. Always inherit text color. Pair with a label except in known affordances.

Rules
  • · Line weight: 1.5px at 24px size. Scale proportionally.
  • · Grid: 24px square base. Optical adjustments allowed for round shapes.
  • · Style: line icons by default, filled variants only for active or hover states.
  • · Color: inherit from parent text color. Never color icons independently of their context.
  • · Pairing: always pair an icon with a label except in known affordances (close, search, menu).
Where we use icons
  • · Service line cards (CRM, RevOps, AI, Growth)
  • · Feature lists (capability tags, deliverable rows)
  • · Status indicators (live, paused, error, success)
  • · Navigation (mega-menu accents, breadcrumb separators)
  • · Document marks (downloads, external links, copy actions)
11 / Photography & illustration

Real teams, real workspaces, never stock.

INSIDEA imagery is operational and grounded. Real people, real environments, real evidence of work. We don't use stock photography or AI-generated faces.

Real teams, real workspaces

Photos of actual INSIDEA people working, customers in their environments, conference moments. The energy is operational, not posed.

Dark and natural

Low-light environments. Single-source lighting. Warm color grading. Never over-bright corporate stock.

Tight crops, generous negative space

Subject occupies one corner or edge. The rest of the frame breathes. Always allow room for type overlay.

Brand-aligned color treatment

Slight orange or magenta tint in highlights when the brand is in frame. Never crush blacks below #0A0A0B; the canvas color holds.

Forbidden imagery
  • ·Stock corporate photography (handshakes, suited people pointing at laptops)
  • ·AI-generated faces or compositions, including stylized renders
  • ·Cliche imagery: lightbulb "ideas," rocket "launches," magnifying glass on documents
  • ·Diverse-team-around-laptop archetype, regardless of source
  • ·Sun-flare or lens-flare overlays
12 / Voice

How INSIDEA sounds.

Five attributes hold the voice. They aren't dials; they show up together in every piece of copy that ships with the INSIDEA name on it.

Confident, not arrogant

We back claims with proof. We don't oversell, we don't overuse superlatives, and we never put down anyone else.

Direct, not aggressive

Clear language. Short sentences. No filler. We get to the point because senior people respect each other's time.

Warm, not casual

A trusted partner, not a buddy. Professional and human. We use first-person plurals (we, our) and second-person (you, your), never third-person corporate speak.

Strategic, not academic

We think in systems. We speak in outcomes. No theory for theory's sake. If a paragraph is conceptual, the next paragraph is concrete.

Forward looking

Always pointed at where we are going. Resilient, never nostalgic. The frame is what is being built, not what was lost or fixed.

Always
  • ·Write INSIDEA in full caps. Never "Insidia," "InsiDea," or lowercase.
  • ·Lead with outcomes and systems, not features and deliverables.
  • ·Include a proof point with every claim (number, client, credential).
  • ·Reference "growth operating system" in hero-level messaging.
  • ·Spell senior team names correctly: Disha, Priya, Gatha, Marshall, Kiran, Natasha, Jigar, Cerin, Wajee.
  • ·Use "world's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner" as the canonical positioning line.
Never
  • ·Use em dashes. Use commas, periods, or restructure the sentence.
  • ·Use emojis in professional output.
  • ·Call INSIDEA an "agency" in client-facing content.
  • ·Write "Diamond" anywhere on the website. We are Elite.
  • ·Use the word "operator." Use "expert" or "consultant" instead.
  • ·Use hedging language ("we believe," "we think," "potentially").
  • ·Use words like "genuinely," "honestly," "straightforward."
Words we use

growth operating system, system, architecture, infrastructure, layer, engine, build, ship, deliver, run, integrate, compound, pipeline, attribution, outcomes, certainty, modern businesses, partner, Elite, specialists.

Words we avoid

agency (in client-facing copy), best-in-class, cutting-edge, world-class, next-gen, synergy, leverage (as a verb), super excited, awesome, game-changer, disruptor, ninja / rockstar / guru, robust, holistic, end-to-end (overused), seamless.

13 / Voice frameworks

Patterns you can re-use without thinking.

When you don't know how to start, start with one of these. Five headline patterns, a CTA framework.

Headline patterns
Claim with proof
[Bold claim]. [Number that backs it].
"Senior team always. 150+ specialists, 0 junior handoffs."
Question with answer
[Question the reader is already asking]? [Direct answer].
"Why hire INSIDEA? Because the operating system you need is the one we have already built."
Verb plus outcome
[Verb] [outcome] [audience or context].
"Ship pipeline that compounds. Across HubSpot, RevOps, growth marketing, AI."
Contrast frame
[Common assumption], [our reframe].
"Most agencies sell hours. We ship systems."

14 / Voice in action

Same idea, two voices. Pick the right one.

Four real-world examples. Left column is on-brand. Right column is what we never want to ship.

We sound like

"We are the world's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner. We help 1,500+ businesses ship faster, grow smarter, and stop wasting cycles on the wrong work."

Confident, specific, outcome-led. Speaks like a builder.

We never sound like

"INSIDEA is a leading provider of full-stack digital solutions, leveraging cutting-edge methodologies to drive synergistic outcomes for our valued partners."

Vague, corporate, hollow. Says nothing.

We sound like

"Senior team always. No junior handoffs. The person on your sales call is on your delivery team."

Direct, structured, names a real promise. No hedging.

We never sound like

"Our highly-experienced team of dedicated professionals is committed to delivering exceptional client experiences across all engagements."

Long, generic, contains zero verifiable claims.

We sound like

"Two-week sprint cadence. Demo Friday, validation call Monday. You always know what is shipping next."

Concrete cadence, named outputs, sets expectations.

We never sound like

"We follow industry-leading agile methodologies to ensure transparent and collaborative project delivery."

Vague language. Could describe any vendor on earth.

We sound like

"Most projects run between $25K and $250K depending on scope. Retainers start at $5K monthly. We share specifics on the first call once we understand the work."

Real numbers, honest range, clear next step.

We never sound like

"Pricing is customized per engagement. Reach out for a quote."

Hides the answer behind a form. Disrespects the reader's time.

15 / Voice across channels

Same brand, different registers.

Six channels with how the brand voice calibrates and a sample line for each. The voice doesn't change; the volume and shape do.

Slack (internal)
Calibration

Looser. Senior peer-to-peer. First-name fine. Bullet points, code blocks, screenshots welcome.

Sample

"Pushed the fix to fix/p0-sweep, build green, watching the deploy. Will report back when prod has it."

Email (customer)
Calibration

Direct, action-oriented, single-purpose. Open with the answer, not the context. One ask per email.

Sample

"Hi {Name}, the migration plan is ready. Three sprints, fixed-fee at $XXk, kickoff in two weeks. Calendar link below for the scoping call."

LinkedIn post
Calibration

Brand voice with point of view. Open with a hook, deliver a real insight, end with one CTA or question. No hashtags above 3.

Sample

"Most HubSpot rebuilds fail not at config, but at adoption. Here's the lifecycle stage architecture we ship to make adoption automatic..."

Sales call follow-up
Calibration

Punctual, summarized, signed. Recap what we discussed, action items by owner with dates, named next step.

Sample

"Recap of our call today: agreed to a 12-week scope, $90K fixed-fee, kickoff Apr 1. Next step: I send the SOW by EOD Friday for legal review."

Crisis / outage
Calibration

Transparent, owns it, points forward. Acknowledge the impact, name the cause, give the timeline.

Sample

"We had a sync issue this morning that affected Salesforce-to-HubSpot record updates from 9:14 to 10:47 AM ET. Root cause was a rate limit change on Salesforce's API; we have re-architected the queue to handle it. All affected records have been replayed. Full postmortem by Friday."

Multi-language
Calibration

INSIDEA operates in English globally for now. When localization happens, every language follows the same voice rules: direct, confident, warm, strategic. Translations are reviewed by a native speaker plus the brand custodian.

Sample

"(Reserved for future Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Hindi translations.)"

16 / Motion

Editorial, not decorative.

INSIDEA motion exists to direct attention or signal meaning. Slow, confident, and always in service of the content. Never to fill space.

Principles
Editorial, not decorative

Motion exists to direct attention or signal meaning. Never to fill space. If a static frame says it as well, the static frame wins.

Slow and confident

Brand motion runs longer than UI motion. 600-1200ms easings on hero elements. Cubic-bezier easing curves: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) for entry, cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) for transitions.

Scroll-driven for narrative

The Cinematic Dawn hero ties scroll position to atmospheric layers (sky, sun, rays). Use this pattern only for hero-level storytelling, never for body content.

Real-time for system signal

The Three.js globe pings the activity feed in real time. Use motion to communicate "the system is alive," never to entertain.

Restraint

If two motion patterns compete on the same screen, kill one. Motion noise breaks trust faster than it builds engagement.

Patterns in production
Cinematic Dawn

Hero scroll-driven sun rise. Atmospheric layers (sky, stars, ray fan, haze, corona, sun-disc, horizon) update via --p CSS variable from 0 to 1 across 130vh.

Three.js Globe + Activity

Real-time globe ping synchronized to activity feed events. The system is alive: when a customer ships, the globe lights up that city.

Marquee

Infinite-scroll word band on the homepage. Opt-in for messaging that benefits from rhythm; never for navigation.

Testimonials columns

Four vertical infinite-scroll columns of customer cards. Continuous, calm, no hover-pause needed.

17 / Applications

Where the brand shows up.

Eight common applications with the specs, formats, and rules. Templates available on request from the brand team.

Email signatures
Color wordmark 120px wide, role and name in Poppins 14/22 weight 500, title in 13/20 weight 300, two-line address (Dover, DE | Bangkok, TH), single CTA link to insidea.com.
Slack avatars
I-mark on solid Spark Orange or full gradient. 1024 × 1024 PNG. Same avatar across team accounts so the brand reads as one team.
LinkedIn cover photos
Cinematic Dawn hero composition cropped to 1584 × 396. Color wordmark bottom-left at 200px wide. No additional text.
Presentation templates
Black canvas with gradient hero on cover. Section dividers use the gradient at full bleed. Body slides use ink card surfaces. Always 16:9. Footer carries small wordmark and slide number.
Pitch decks
Open with a single sentence statement ("You are scaling a revenue engine."). 3-act structure: problem, system, outcomes. Always end with a clear next step CTA, never a thank-you slide.
Business cards
Black card stock with gradient edge bleed. Color wordmark front, contact info back in Poppins 11/16. Soft-touch finish.
Conference booth
Dark canvas with single gradient backdrop. Wordmark large enough to read from 30 feet. One-sentence value proposition. No bullet lists, no QR-code grids.
Swag
Black or charcoal apparel. White or color wordmark. T-shirts, hoodies, caps. Stickers carry the I-mark only. Notebooks: black with embossed wordmark.

Pattern: "[Client] [outcome stat] with [methodology]". Example: "Promptly · $29.41M pipeline on HubSpot Enterprise". Always lead with a number when possible.
2. Hero stat block
Single hero number plus 1-line label. Example: "$29.41M" with label "Deal pipeline value". Plus 3 supporting stats below.
3. Challenge
2-3 paragraphs. What was broken before INSIDEA. Why it mattered. Why the customer needed to fix it now.
4. Approach
4-6 numbered phases or workstreams. Each phase: title plus one paragraph. Concrete actions, named tools, sequence.
5. Outcome
2-3 paragraphs. Numbers first, then narrative. Translate the stats into business impact ("the team finally worked from one source of truth instead of three half-truths").
6. Customer quote
1-2 sentences. Attribution: "{Role}, {Stage} {Industry}" if anonymized, or "{Name}, {Title}, {Company}" if named.
7. Stack
List of named platforms used. Format: HubSpot Marketing Hub Enterprise, HubSpot Sales Hub Enterprise, Custom Workflows, etc.
8. Service lines used
Tags from the canonical 4: CRM & Platforms, RevOps, Growth Marketing, AI & Automation. Plus Products if INSIDEA Labs was involved.
9. Next step CTA
Always: "Replicate this for your {industry/stage} with INSIDEA." Linked to /contact.
20 / Co-marketing & partner brand

How partners reference INSIDEA.

Five rules for any external brand referencing INSIDEA, plus a pre-approved partnership announcement template.

How partners reference INSIDEA

Always "INSIDEA" in full caps. The canonical descriptor is "the world's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner." Use as a noun, not a possessive.

Co-branded lockups

INSIDEA wordmark on the left, vertical hairline divider, partner logo on the right at equal optical height. Equal padding around both marks.

Partnership announcements

Boilerplate paragraph below available for press releases. INSIDEA name and tier referenced once in the lead, not repeated.

Quote attribution

Always "Pratik Thakker, Founder & CEO" never just "Pratik." Other team members: full name plus full title. Never first-name-only attribution.

Trademark

INSIDEA is a registered trademark of INSIDEA Inc., Dover, DE. Use ® on first mention in formal documents. Never genericize the brand name as a verb.

Partnership announcement template
[Partner] today announced a partnership with INSIDEA, the world's #1 rated Elite HubSpot Partner. The partnership combines [partner capability] with INSIDEA's growth operating system, giving customers [specific outcome].

"[Partner CEO quote]," said [Partner CEO Name and Title].
