About us

What’s The Growth Memo all about?

The marketing world moves at lightning speed. What worked yesterday might not cut it today. For growth marketers like us, that’s a real headache – nobody wants to waste time and money on strategies that won’t deliver ROI.

But here’s the kicker: finding out what’s actually working now is like trying to crack a secret code. Most of the good stuff is locked behind paywalls or hidden in expensive masterminds. That’s why we created the Growth Memo — in partnership with Semrush, the leading online visibility management SaaS platform.

Our access to millions of data points allows us to see things most marketer’s can’t.  When you get our Memos, you’re tapping into powerful insights, tactics, and strategies that real, scaling businesses are using right now. The best part? It’s delivered to your inbox every single week, absolutely free.
