It’s called a “growth hacker,” a marketing and engineering hybrid who develops growth engines—referral programs, stunts, API integrations and other deeply analytical campaigns. Considering the fact that they are building marketing and social sharing into their products, will they ever need anything like Madison Avenue ever again? Learn whether the skills that took generations to refine and build are making marketing roles irrelevant.

After every retail outlet, from Barnes & Noble to your corner

bookstore, refused to carry author Tim Ferriss’ third book, The 4-

In response, Ferriss partnered with Bittorrent to give away more than

250 pages of extra material from the book to anyone visiting Bittorrent’s

website.

Ultimately, this partnership resulted in over 2,000,000 bundle downloads, astounding book sales, comfortably putting the book on

every bestseller list, including The New York Times, USA Today, and

Wall Street Journal
