Growthathon

The job title, “Growth Hacker,” is becoming increasingly prominent in Silicon Valley. Growth hackers investigate the product, market, technology, and metrics to guide marketing. The top growth hackers distinguish themselves through their creativity and guts to try things outside of the norm. The best way to learn the discipline is to learn from someone who’s already an expert and to relentlessly experiment with new distribution channels.
