Little or no traditional 
marketing…

GROWTH HACKING 
MAGIC? 
@seanellis
No – Rigorous Process of Experimentation 
1. Ideas 
2.Prioritize 
5.Optimize 
4.Analyze 3.Test 
@seanellis
The Dropbox Growth Story 
@seanellis 
• Freemium reduced allowable CPA 
• Natural advantages to grow with 
collaboration and sharing 
• Catalyze sharing with double sided 
referral program 
• Optimize conversions on sharing 
loops 
• 300 million users with no traditional 
marketing
Desperation Drove Startups to Innovate 
• Aggressive targets, tight resources 
• Traditional approach not realistic 
@seanellis 
• Had to rethink growth…
The Growth Hacking Playbook 
• Experiment with all 
available growth levers 
• Understand what’s 
driving growth, test to 
improve it 
• Heavy focus on product 
and optimization 
http://www.michiganemploymentlawadvisor.com/
B2B or B2C? 
• Growth hacking isn’t just for consumer-focused 
@seanellis 
companies. 
• B2B often requires integration with sales process.

PUTTING GROWTH HACKING TO 
WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS 
@seanellis
Finding Your Own Growth Hacks 
@seanellis 
• Areas of exploration 
• Process, team and tools
Some Areas of Exploration 
• Platform integrations 
• Engineered user-get-user 
• Free tools 
Examples 
25+ M users 
@seanellis
Areas of Exploration (Cont) 
• Powered by 
• Reverse engineer success 
Examples 
@seanellis
Success Data: Airbnb’s Pro Photos 
• Airbnb discovered that 
listings with high-quality 
photos received 2-3x 
bookings 
• Airbnb invested in 
professional photography 
• Booking activity explodes 
as desire increases 
@seanellis
Other Growth Studies for Inspiration 
@seanellis
Experimentation is Key to Success 
• Generate many ideas for experiments 
• Prioritize by impact, confidence & effort 
• Balance high impact & high probability tests 
@seanellis
GOAL: 
INCREASED UNITS 
OF GRATIFICATION
Double Down on Success 
• Challenge is not finding 
many channels that work, 
but rather finding one. 
• Often your best growth 
opportunity is to double 
down on what’s already 
working.
Growth Team Often Needed 
“Growth team” complements existing marketing team 
@seanellis 
• Multi-disciplinary 
• Cross functional 
• Evangelize experimentation 
culture
Some Helpful Tools 
• Analytics — Identify drop-off points and under-performing 
pages (e.g. Google Analytics, 
@seanellis 
KISSMetrics) 
• Qualitative Insights — Uncover the why behind the 
numbers (e.g. Qualaroo, SurveyMonkey) 
• A/B Test — Find better performing combinations to 
drive conversion rate (e.g. Hubspot, Optimizely)
Relentless Execution of Growth Process 
1. Ideas 
@seanellis 
2.Prioritize 
5.Optimize 
4.Analyze 3.Test
Key Takeaways 
• Emerging marketing challenges require all to rethink growth 
• Growth hacking is based experimentation, not silver bullets 
• Add process/team to maximize number of experiments 
• Get inspiration from data, VOC and what’s working for others
