What is the role of a growth marketing consultant

A Growth Marketing Consultant’s role is to devise and implement strategies aimed at business expansion. Crucially, they don’t just focus on acquiring new customers, but consider the entire customer lifecycle (AARRR) – Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, and Revenue. This holistic approach ensures that businesses not only gain new customers but also keep them engaged, turning them into loyal customers who are likely to refer others, ultimately driving revenue growth.

The consultant’s job also involves designing a robust growth strategy. They use a range of methods, including data-driven insights and marketing experimentation to constantly iterate, learn and improve. Importantly, they facilitate the establishment of a growth culture; a culture where everyone in the organisation is focused on growth and feels empowered to suggest and test new ideas. This approach fosters innovation, agility and continuous improvement, key factors for business success in today’s dynamic markets.

What makes a great growth hire?

A modern growth hire requires a wide base level of knowledge, along with deep expertise in one or two areas well-suited to your business.

The T-Shaped Marketer framework popularised by Buffer illustrates the concept well.

“The vertical bar on the T represents the depth of related skills and expertise in a single field, whereas the horizontal bar is the ability to collaborate across disciplines with experts in other areas and to apply knowledge in areas of expertise other than one’s own.”
