Sean Ellis coined the term “growth hacking” way back in 2010. Since then, the term has taken on a life of its own. It’s the focus of dozens of books, new roles, new departments and teams, new methods of thinking, hundreds of articles, hundreds of guides, hundreds of webinars… you get the idea.

Crazy, I know uh. Why screw with an organization like that. We’re trying to get sales and marketing on the same page, and now I’m telling you they need to be on separate fiscal calendars.

The funny thing about major shifts or inflection points in history is that they often happen so gradually, it’s hard to realize they’re happening until they’re over. The internet, cell phones, and social media. All of these major shifts seem like overnight phenomena looking back.
