Publisher's summary

A new generation of megabrands like Facebook, Dropbox, Airbnb, and Twitter haven't spent a dime on traditional marketing. No press releases, no TV commercials, no billboards. Instead, they rely on a new strategy - growth hacking - to reach many more people despite modest marketing budgets. Growth hackers have thrown out the old playbook and replaced it with tools that are testable, trackable, and scalable. They believe that products and businesses should be modified repeatedly until they're primed to generate explosive reactions.

Best-selling author Ryan Holiday, the acclaimed marketing guru for American Apparel and many bestselling authors and multiplatinum musicians, explains the new rules and provides valuable examples and case studies for aspiring growth hackers. Whether you work for a tiny start-up or a Fortune 500 giant, if you're responsible for building awareness and buzz for a product or service, this is your road map.

A wonderful, super practical listen!

I enjoyed the book very much. It gives a great understanding of what ‘Growth Hacker Marketung’ is, why it’s important and how it’s done well. The book is honest and gives real and relevant examples. I enjoyed it a lot!

solid

Quick listen that sparked some good ideas. Definitely found value from an ideas perspective. but the nature of the growth hacking beast is that a how-to will be irrelevant by the time you're done writing it.

good, worth buying, but not wow!

Ryan, I'm surprised you didn't get more feedback from people about giving more examples outside of the tech world. Your own book was a good example but not enough . How does a plumber or an HVAC guy do it? How does a seamstress do it ? How does a restaurant do it? More examples that would have appeal to a broader audience I think would certainly have helped. Maybe that's good contact for blog posts later. None-the-less good book. I enjoy your work; worth the buy.

Old theme but very compelling

Well written with good examples. Idea has been around for 25 years but this book does a good job of motivating the reader to jump in.
