All geared up for [INBOUND 2015](http://inbound.com)? Here’s our list of inspiring marketing quotes from the speakers at INBOUND 2013 which make you scratch your head before designing your next [digital marketing framework](https://www.niswey.com/blog/5-steps-to-a-digital-marketing-framework/) or strategy.

> **“You are what you publish on the web.”**  
> David Scott, Author, The New Rules of Marketing & PR

Over the years, marketers have realized the supreme ingredient needed for marketing recipes, be it Social Media Marketing, Email Marketing or even SEO, for that matter: Content.

> **“No amount of tools can help a bad product. You have to remain genuine in your product development innovation and quality.”**  
> Kara Swisher, Founder, Re/code

This one reiterates the fact that marketing is so much more than selling. We need to find products for our customers and not the other way around.

> **“I think great marketing is transparent… if it’s not uncomfortable, you’re not being transparent enough.”**  
> Rand Fishkin, Founder and CEO, Moz

> **“Show. Don’t tell. And do it visually.”**  
> Scott Harrison, Founder and CEO, charity: water

At Niswey, we strongly believe in a stronger role for design in marketing. Besides branding, [design helps you get leads too](https://www.niswey.com/blog/lead-generation-through-gestalt-design-principles/).

> **“Is it worth getting one more tweet out, or putting your phone down and doing something that is worth tweeting?”**  
> Seth Godin, Author, Permission Marketing

As Brian Solis would say: “Social media is about sociology and psychology more than technology.”

> **“Social media monitoring is about building relationships, not about sitting back and watching the newsfeed.”**  
> Anum Hussein, Inbound Content Strategist, HubSpot

As digital marketers, we’ve all felt the need to connect with like-minded people and build genuine relationships. As it has been rightly said: Your network is your net worth.

> **“Inbound also means being inbound to yourself.”**  
> Arianna Huffington, Co-founder, The Huffington Post

> **“Great content is the best sales tool in the world.”**  
> Marcus Sheridan, Author, The Sales Lion Blog

Wise words from a swimming pool company owner who went on to become a thought leader in content marketing and digital sales as a result of the economic collapse of 2008.

> **“What makes data rich? Quantity, quality, variety. Rich data is more reliable than Big data.”**  
> Nate Silver, Editor-in-Chief, FiveThirtyEight.com

The longer your blog post, the better. More images makes it more shareable, as many people just skim through. More

> **“No matter what, the very first piece of social media real estate I’d start with is a blog.”**  
> Chris Brogan, Founder, New Marketing Labs

Simply put by Seth Godin: “Content Marketing is the only marketing left.”
