    Start with your North Star Metric: This is the top single metric that reflects the reason why your brand and growth engine exists. Some top brand examples include Asana (weekly active users) or Salesforce (average records in account). Every growth campaign and/or experiment should ladder up to delivering that metric.  Track every stage of the funnel journey: Awareness: Do people know we exist? The focus on this stage is visibility and reach. Example metrics include:  Impressions & reach Webs ...Read More

    Traditional marketing is about getting the word out and generating awareness (1: many). Growth marketing is about generating outcomes and ensuring each user has the right message at the right time (1:1).

    Traditional marketers plan campaigns, buy media, and focus on brand awareness or reach. Growth marketers are focused on the full customer journey (acquisition, activation, retention, and churn). They use data, experimentation, and feedback loops to optimize the funnel at every touchpoint.

    Identifying the right target audience isn’t about casting a broad net to reach as many people, it’s about finding the most responsive one. Growth marketing works best when it’s built on deep customer insight and continuous experimentation. Learn from who knows you best – your current customers: Start with your existing users and customers. They are already using your brand so learn based on their behaviors. Use analytics, CRM data, and customer interviews to pinpoint shared traits: demographics, ...Read More

    Content marketing isn’t just about publishing, it’s about creating value that earns attention and trust at scale. I treat content like a product: built for the user, optimized through data, and designed to deliver lasting impact. Content should fuel every stage of the funnel: At the top, content should be designed to draw in people, get them curious about the brand, and ready to do more. As we progress down the funnel, it should connect the dots for prospects and educate them on the value of you ...Read More
