Growth Marketing
Growth marketing is a data-driven approach of designing and conducting experiments on focus areas to optimize and improve critical metrics. It takes the traditional marketing model and adds layers of experimentation such as A/B testing, thought leadership blog posts, mobile marketing campaigns, data-driven email marketing campaigns, SEO optimization, quirky and creative ad copies, and technical analysis of every aspect of a user’s experience. The insights gained from these strategies are quickly implemented to achieve sustainable growth.
One example would be to use emojis in the email headline to see if open rates increase. When it works, it’s leaned into. When it doesn’t, more experiments are run.
Most growth marketing teams are responsible for:
- Increase traffic to the website

- Develop and design growth experiments to optimize the marketing funnel
