No job descriptionYou can’t tell what a growth hacker should be like.

Page 11: Growth Hacking Paris Meetup #0

A growth hacker is just someone who is obsessively focused on growth and only on growth*

*if you think it’s like the CEO I would be worried about your your treasury

Page 12: Growth Hacking Paris Meetup #0

He should be either autonomous on most matters or/and someone who could use the core team skills to ensure the growth

PROBLEM:

revenue = $99

CAC = $300

referal : free space for (Acquisition + Activation) ->

6. Living social - ReferralInsight:

– Building an audience can be outside of the core product experience.

– Giving away deals is cheaper than giving away cash.

• Hack:

– Building a purely viral Facebook app called Pick Your 5, and growing virally until pivoting to daily deals.

– A new twist on refer-a-friend with the 3-and-free dynamic.

•Result:

– 10’s of millions of Facebook app installs

– 70MM users as of 11/12
