growth hacking

Startup expansion tactics

Growth hacking is a marketing approach focused on rapid experimentation across channels and product development to identify the most efficient ways to grow a business.

The term emerged from tech startups where traditional marketing budgets were limited but user acquisition was critical.

A growth hacker prioritizes scalable, measurable tactics—viral features, referral programs, A/B testing—over conventional advertising: They growth-hacked their way to a million users without spending on ads.
