Growth

Growth hacking is a subfield of marketing focused on the rapid growth of a company. It is referred to as both a process and a set of cross-disciplinary skills.

Growth Analysis

A market analysis is a thorough assessment of a market within a specific industry. With this analysis, you will study the dynamics of your market, such as volume and value, potential customer segments, buying patterns, competition, and other important factors.

A market analysis studies the attractiveness and the dynamics of a special market within a special industry. It is part of the industry analysis and thus in turn of the global environmental analysis. Through all of these analyses, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of a company can be identified.

Growth Analysis uses data, formulas, models, methodologies, and ideologies to apply market analysis to full funnel growth. Reference Foundations of Deaf Child Marketing for some context.

The trick is knowing which tool to apply to each problem. This is why Growth Analysts must have a variety of experience in all aspects of marketing and business.

Data Reporting, Market Testing, Profit Scaling

I work with Marketing, Development, Engineering, Sales, and Accounting teams as a project manager to monitor, interpret, and execute on business plans.

Planning as a Growth Analyst means I analyze, forecast, plus build custom reports to make key performance indicators and insights available to the entire company.

I am involved in tracking project milestones, maintaining client correspondences, managing project scope, leading process design improvements, conducting system integration, as well as undertaking project analysis.

I propose decisions that may affect all aspects of an organization's financial health, especially because I direct and implement strategies for sales, advertising, and general market placement.

My role involves running the calculations to show you the numbers so your company has the data it needs to grow.
