Why Growth Hacking?
Growth-hacking is one of the most in-demand skills today. In job ads on AngelList, “growth hacker” is specified as a required skill twice as often as “online marketer”.
Growth hacking seeks to grow active consumers of your brand – quickly and inexpensively. It focuses on sales. It converts awareness into purchasing, purchasing into sustained consumption, consumption into ongoing endorsement, and endorsement into purchasing. Professional growth hackers integrate conversion rate optimisation, UX, ad optimisation, analytics, email, and social media in a systematic rapid evolution process continuously fine-tuned through testing and experimenting. That’s quite a mouthful if you are new to digital marketing. But by the time you complete this two-day workshop, you will be totally comfortable with the core concepts, the essential processes and the most accessible tools.
What is more, you will be well on your way to implementing growth hacking in your business. The two day format and small group approach allows time for applying the ideas to your brands and business. So bring your laptop!
Growth hacking emerged on the back of the app-based start-up bubble, where success is measured by the rate of growth of your active user base. But it has gone way beyond that. Now any business with a digital component has to master the tools and tactics of growth hacking to stay competitive.
