Startups! This is what you need to know
summary
Startups must pair early performance tactics with a clear purpose or the initial feature becomes a commodity. Examples given: a $5,000 viral video launches Dollar Shave Club into a brand, a Craigslist growth hack seeds Airbnb’s user base, Casper uses a 97% one mattress claim to sell trust, and REI’s Opt Outside ties PR to purpose. Use data to find one actionable insight, pick a visible enemy to create tension, and bake brand decisions into every product choice.
