Growth Marketing is at once a complex topic and a wealth of opportunity for driving growth in your company. Not only does growth marketing drive sales growth, but it also drives overall growth. It's all about fast iteration, trying new things, testing small changes, and connecting the small details to the big picture. Growth marketing is imagining your biggest dream scenario for your company’s growth, and then making it happen through a company-wide drive to make every single process more efficient and improve the customer experience.
Should You Hire Someone for Growth Marketing?
Driving a growth marketing strategy can be incredibly overwhelming for just one person. There is a ton of responsibility involved. That person needs to know the company inside out, they need to build relationships with all of your staff, and they need to know a ton of background information about your industry.
That’s not to say that one person isn’t capable of doing it all. There are some unicorn growth marketers out there, who have an amazing knack to get it all figured out, and drive massive change and growth for a company. But hiring one person for that, or setting that responsibility on an existing employee, means an intense onboarding process for that person.
Growth marketers must monitor, track, and analyze every statistic they possibly can. They must be involved in and drive a solid inbound marketing strategy, creating a minimum of 10-12 pieces of blog content per month, plus social media and advertising content. They need to be able to connect the stats and analytics to the huge vision while finding tiny detail changes across all departments.
A team approach is more likely to drive that change faster while sharing the massive responsibility, knowledge, and pressure that it requires.
Your in-house marketing and sales teams are probably already working at, or near, their max capacity. Asking one of them to take on the responsibility for growth marketing, or hiring a new person for growth marketing, would be expensive and require a significant shift in the way your teams operate. Shifting that responsibility to an existing team member also puts a ton of extra pressure on the rest of their team, because they’re not going to have time to still manage their previous responsibilities. Growth marketing is not something that works if it's done half time. It needs full-time commitment and focus.
