Journey to a Million Users: Case Studies on Growth Marketing

Acquiring new users is often a pay-to-play game. Some startups lean nearly entirely on paid advertising to access new markets; many have revitalized old channels (OOH, print) and found ways to take advantage of new mediums (digital) to grow their brands.

Paid advertising is not easy. Marketing experts with working campaigns know they’ll always have to continue testing and optimizing their campaign strategies, all while on the lookout for the next upcoming channel to use.

It can be an expensive and time-consuming ordeal, but for those that make it work, they’ll find repeatable and scalable success.

Join us on August 7th as we host talented practitioners and experts to share case studies and best practices for growth across paid promotions, and more. You’ll learn how to develop growth strategies, set goals, optimize, and more!
