No BS - guaranteed! -- Growth hacking - something old, something new Marketing has always relied on communication methods that reach millions of people via newspapers, TV, and radio. To access these channels, companies need to utilize advertising and media agencies, PR specialists, and hire marketing staff. However, in many industries these traditional channels have lost their initial appeal, as they have become expensive, fragmented, and too inflexible to manage. Marketers and their products To understand growth hacking, consider how the Internet has changed the definition of a “product.” For centuries, a “product” has been a physical item, that can be exchanged by hand for money. In the age of the Internet, however, many products have turned into digital format; information items (information goods, as economists say), communication tools, and services that one can use, but not touch. In most companies, marketers have little impact on the product. Growth hacking overcomes the disconnection between marketing and product development, as focusing on understanding the users, as well as how they will discover and utilize the product, will enable a firm to build features that help acquire and retain more users, rather than just spending more money on marketing. As put by Andrew Chen, a new breed of marketer/coder hybrids has emerged to take the marketing role in a company.
