The Hard-Core-Connection Tour Just Got You a Backstage Pass

Core Connected Marketing bridges the gap between your core banking system and HubSpot, so every campaign plays off data that's actually current.

Your core data has been playing sold-out shows for years. Your marketing just hasn't been invited on stage. Core Connected Marketing changes that, connecting your core banking system straight into HubSpot, so transactions and engagement events show up where your team can actually use them.

A Real-Life Rock Star

Meet Nikki Doherty. Two decades in financial marketing, and she's spent the last stretch building Core Connected Marketing into exactly what FIs have been asking for: marketing that knows what the data already knows.

No opener. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation about what this could do for your institution.

Same Data. Better Set List.
Core Connected Marketing turns your core banking data into the set list matching the right message to the right member, automatically. No more guessing who's in the crowd. Here's what that looks like for three different members.

Finally, Marketing That Hits the Right Note.

Your core data has been playing the same set for years, and nobody's been listening. Core Connected Marketing bridges the gap between your core banking system and HubSpot, so marketing stops guessing and starts acting on real member signals. When core data lives in one place and marketing lives in another, personalization becomes manual, reporting falls flat, and your team loses hours to spreadsheets instead of strategy. We connect the systems so HubSpot can play off the real setlist. Smarter journeys, sharper segmentation, and a clear view of what's actually working.

Book Your Backstage Session

  1. New Member Onboarding

    Problem
    Generic welcome emails treat every new member the same, whether they joined online like Sarah or in-branch like Mike.

    With Core Connected Marketing
    Sarah receives a 120-day trust-building series aligned to her digital onboarding. Mike gets an immediate digital adoption push aligned to his in-branch start.

    Outcome
    Onboarding completion rates increase

  2. Cross-Sell at the Right Time

    Problem
    When credit card offers are triggered solely by a new checking account, timing is often off and the offer feels irrelevant.

    With Core Connected Marketing
    After direct deposit is active and external credit card payments are detected, HubSpot can trigger a credit card offer when the member is most likely to act.

    Outcome
    Credit card acceptance rates increase.

  3. Retention & Win-Back

    Problem
    At-risk members look fine in your marketing platform right up until the day they close the account. By the time disengagement shows up in a quarterly report, the direct deposit has already moved somewhere else.

    With Core Connected Marketing
    When direct deposit stops, balances slide, or transaction frequency drops, HubSpot can trigger retention outreach while the relationship is still worth saving.

    Outcome
    Attrition drops and lifetime value is protected.

  4. Mortgage & Loan Campaigns

    Problem
    Mortgage campaigns often rely on broad lists and generic timing, so members hear from you too early, too late, or not at all.

    With Core Connected Marketing
    When a member starts showing mortgage intent, like researching rates, increasing savings, or changing payment behavior, HubSpot can trigger timely education and outreach based on real signals, not guesswork.

    Outcome
    Lead quality increases, cost per lead decreases

From the Crowd, Not the Cheap Seats.

“Before working with Epicosity, our marketing team was constantly pulling lists, manually triggering campaigns, and struggling to connect our core data to HubSpot in any meaningful way. We knew we had the data, but we couldn’t act on it in real time.

Core Connected Marketing completely changed that. Now, our journeys are behavior-based, our lead alerts are timely and actionable, and we can finally show attribution for campaigns that drive real results. The integration was fast, secure, and required no heavy lifting from our internal IT team.

It is the first time marketing, sales, and digital are working in sync, and our leadership can clearly see the value.”

FAQs 

For Chief Marketing Officers

Most financial institutions see their first intelligent campaigns live within 4-6 weeks of kickoff. Early wins include improved onboarding completion rates and better-targeted cross-sell campaigns. ROI typically becomes clear within the first quarter.

Perfect timing! We can help you implement HubSpot and Core Connected Marketing together, ensuring your marketing automation is intelligence-powered from day one. We're HubSpot Solutions Partners and specialize in financial institution deployments.

Yes. Because we sync core data to HubSpot, you can track which marketing touchpoints influence account openings, loan applications, and wallet share growth. This gives you the attribution clarity needed to prove marketing ROI to the board.

FAQs 

For Chief Information Officers

We use read-only API access to your core system, meaning zero write permissions and zero risk of data corruption. All data transmission is encrypted, we're SOC 2 Type II certified, and we maintain comprehensive audit trail logging. Your core system security posture doesn't change.

We support the major core banking platforms used by credit unions and community banks. During our discovery call, we'll confirm compatibility and outline the specific integration approach for your system. In rare cases where direct API access isn't available, we have secure alternative methods.
Minimal. After initial implementation (which requires some IT involvement for secure API setup), the system runs autonomously. Marketing teams manage campaigns and segments directly in HubSpot. IT only gets involved for major system upgrades or security audits.

FAQs 

For Chief Executive Officers

Core Connected Marketing is a subscription service with transparent pricing based on your member count. There are no hidden costs, platform migrations, or multi-year commitments. You keep your existing tech stack and add intelligence to it. We'll provide a custom quote during your demo.
Platform replacements like Strum or FI Grow require you to abandon your existing marketing tech stack (HubSpot, email platforms, etc.) and re-platform everything. That means 6-12 month implementations, staff retraining, and significant business disruption. We work WITH your existing HubSpot investment and implement in 4-6 weeks.
We offer phased implementation with clear success metrics at each stage. You'll see proof of concept with real data before full deployment. Our read-only architecture means zero risk to your core system. And because we're adding to (not replacing) your tech stack, there's no point of no return.

FAQs 

For Marketing Operations

Absolutely. Core Connected Marketing enhances your existing HubSpot instance—it doesn't replace it. Your current workflows, templates, and campaigns continue to work. You'll simply have access to richer data (core banking data) to make them smarter.
You choose. We support real-time syncing for critical data (new account openings, balance changes) and scheduled syncing (daily, hourly) for less time-sensitive data. You configure sync frequency based on your use cases and technical requirements.
We provide comprehensive training on the framework methodology (lifecycle stages, tagging system, lead scoring) and hands-on workshops for building intelligent campaigns. Most marketing teams are fully self-sufficient within 2 weeks. We also provide ongoing support and best practice guidance.
