HubSpot has enlisted 8 biggest marketing mistakes in a blog post. The mistakes include the campaigns that dealt with guerilla marketing, offering free stuff and more.

Keep reading for a little entertainment, and some reminders of what you should never do to ensure you don’t repeat these mistakes yourself”.
