From Performance Marketing to Growth Marketing

The shift from performance to growth starts with how you think.

• Positioning and value proposition — pressure-testing the offer before spending on it
• Growth frameworks — AARRR, See-Think-Do-Care, STP as diagnostic tools, not theory
• North Star metric + activation/retention loops — the one metric growth marketers organize around
• Objective → KPI mapping — optimizing for outcomes, not activity

Acquisition is where performance skill becomes growth strategy.

• Channel and budget architecture — allocating across funnel stages, prospecting vs. retargeting, when to scale vs. hold
• Forecasting with real math — CPM → CTR → CVR → CAC/ROAS projections that survive a client's questions
• Audience strategy beyond demographics — segmentation built on intent and behaviour
• Creative strategy — Hook–Story–Offer as a repeatable system
• Channel diversification — moving beyond paid: organic and owned channels and why over-reliance on paid caps growth

Growth decisions are only as good as the data behind them.

• Measurement that survives scrutiny — separating signal from vanity metrics
• Attribution models — last-click, first-click, linear, time-decay, position-based: what each credits, where each lies
• Data-driven attribution (DDA) — algorithmic multi-touch credit and its blind spots
• Incrementality — geo-tests, holdouts, and lift studies to measure true incremental impact

Real growth compounds through experimentation, retention, and leverage — not just more spend.

• Experimentation culture — A/B testing discipline, ICE/RICE prioritization, and building growth loops
• Lifecycle beyond paid — email, lifecycle marketing, and referral mechanics that compound growth
• Retention economics & CRO — lowering blended CAC and converting existing traffic into more revenue
