Growth Marketing
Overview
Growth = disciplined experimentation. Hypothesis → smallest test → measure → decide. No "let's try everything".
Experiment template
## Experiment: <name>
- Hypothesis: if we [change], then [metric] improves because [reason]
- Metric + baseline: ...
- Minimum success: ...
- Cost/effort: ...
- Duration: ...
- Result: ... → scale / iterate / kill
Idea sources
- Funnel data: biggest drop-off step (
marketing-analytics) - Voice of customer: sales calls, reviews, support tickets
- Competitor moves (
competitor-intelligence) - Channel playbooks: cold outbound, SEO, communities, partnerships, referrals
Workflow
- Map the funnel with real numbers; find the constraint.
- Backlog 5-10 experiments; score ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease).
- Persist experiments on the Marketing desk (
marketing action=improve/ metrics). - Weekly review: start the desk loop (
marketing action=start) on a saved schedule. Never create a chat cron that ticks KPIs. - Scale winners into always-on programs via
marketing action=contentandcampaign-manager.
Rules
- One variable per experiment when possible.
- Kill criteria are set before launch.
- A failed experiment with a clear learning is a win; an unmeasured one is a loss.
