Positioning, Marketing, and Customer Acquisition

Hacking Growth

Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown

The VMT Review

This is a useful guide to cross-functional, experiment-driven growth after a company has established meaningful customer value. It is less useful when applied prematurely; growth tactics cannot repair weak product-market fit or poor retention.

What the Reader Will Learn

Readers learn how growth teams generate, prioritize, run, and analyze experiments across acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, and referral. The book reinforces the importance of understanding the growth equation rather than relying on occasional marketing campaigns.
