123: Seven Teams, One System: Inside the Paragonix Medical Device HubSpot Build (Office Hours)

At 2:38 in the morning, a donor heart crosses the country in a Paragonix device, and a small team coordinates every step of its journey. Until recently, that work lived in a phone notepad, a hand-colored Word doc, and a group text copying 16 people by hand. Paragonix had outgrown its tools, and in a business where a missed case is a “never event,” they needed systems as strong as their people. So they brought in Optidge for the most complex implementation in the agency’s history. In this episode, Danny shares why the real challenge wasn’t the software, HubSpot. It was bringing seven teams onto one system that none of them had ever owned. He walks through stepping into a role that didn’t exist yet, winning over executives with a live demo built in 48 hours, designing for teams with very different needs, and the launch-week surprises nobody puts in a case study. It’s an honest look at what it takes to lead people, not just a HubSpot for medical device build. **An Optidge "Office Hours" Episode:** Our Office Hours episodes are your go-to for details, case studies, how-to’s, and advice on specific marketing topics.
