Growth Hacking
Growth Hacking is a lean, data-driven approach to rapidly testing and scaling customer acquisition, activation, and retention strategies using unconventional and cost-efficient tactics. It involves cross-functional collaboration between product, marketing, and engineering teams to optimize growth levers.
Popular growth hacking techniques include:
Viral referral programs
Freemium-to-paid conversion funnels
Product-led growth initiatives
Landing page and conversion rate optimization
Influencer marketing and performance ads
Pioneered by early-stage startups, growth hacking is now widely practiced in mature tech and D2C companies seeking rapid, scalable market traction with limited budgets.
