What is Growth Hacking?

Growth Hacking is a process of rapid experimentation across marketing channels and product development to identify the most effective, efficient ways to grow a business. Growth hackers are marketers, engineers and product managers that specifically focus on building and engaging the user base of a business.

Sean Ellis is the genius behind this movement, and coined this term in 2010. He helped lots of startups achieve accelerated growth, the most well-known being DropBox.
