Hubspot certified?

It’s pretty useless unless it’s a company that bought into the inbound ideology hubspot created.

If they're idiots.

HubSpot certs are okay. Google certs are better, the exams are more rigorous.

I’ve worked for agencies who didn’t necessarily *acknowledge* the certs, however they did make new employees complete some of them during induction as a refresher / to ensure they were up to scratch in certain areas of mktg; especially old hat marketers who had gone through studies many, many years ago.

Not that I have seen. It's more good general knowledge for those looking to enter digital marketing more.
