Baskey, the Freelancer Collective
In 2001, Brian Mackey and Leo Lehrbaß founded Baskey, a freelancer collective born from their shared mission to provide top-notch support and consulting services to businesses and HubSpot users.
The journey began in Dublin, where they worked side by side on the HubSpot Customer Support team. Through their experiences, Brian and Leo honed their skills and knowledge, becoming adept at navigating the intricacies of business software and strategic consulting. They credit their success to the exceptional training received at HubSpot, as well as the invaluable guidance from managers and colleagues.
Fast forward to 2024, and the Baskey team is continuing to grow. We now have eight professionals all aligned on helping businesses to scale with HubSpot.
What sets Baskey apart is our commitment to flexibility and our focus on addressing the needs of HubSpot users. While larger agencies boast in-house teams and a one-size-fits-all approach, Baskey offers a more personalised experience.
From the initial call to the completion of projects, clients work directly with a dedicated HubSpot expert who handles everything from data migration to building sophisticated reporting dashboards.
We offer more than just solutions; we prioritise education. Rather than simply solving problems and offering no manual on how we got there, we empower clients by teaching them how to effectively utilise HubSpot, fostering long-term success within their organisations – long after we're gone.
However, with 100% retainment, our clients continue to choose us because we invest heavily in building great relationships.
