New VP of Marketing

GROWTH HACKER IS THE NEW VP OF MARKETING

Growth hackers are a hybrid of marketer and coder, one who looks  at  the  traditional  question  of  “How  do  I  get  customers  for  my  product”  and  answers  with  A/B  tests,  landing  pages,  viral  factor, email deliverability, and Open Graph. On top of this, they layer the discipline of direct marketing, with its emphasis on quantitative measurement, scenario modeling via spreadsheets, and a lot of database queries. If a startup is a pre-product/market fit, growth hackers can make sure virality is embedded at the core of a product. After product/market fit, they  can  help  run  up  the  score  on  what’s  already  working.

Matt’s  Quote

GROWTH HACKING IS BLEEDING EDGE - Matt Barrie

The  bleeding  edge  today  is  Growth  Hacking  &  Data  Science,  and  it’s  where  statistics, computer science and marketing meet. Growth hacking quintessentially looks for platforms that provide one to many relationships (one to millions), and develops smart ways to harness them quickly. Tech companies are literally hiring rocket scientists to exploit these channels and acquire customers quickly before they get crowded and the advantage fades as they get costly or restricted. I have a VP Growth, but no VP  Marketing.  The  HBR  calls  Data  Science  “The  Sexiest  Job  of  the  21st Century”

Ok……And  Growth  Hacking  is???
