Hacktics Growth Hacking Academy exists to help entrepreneurs, digital marketers and marketing teams understand and build data-rich marketing funnels. Built with a bottom-of-the-funnel-up mentality, Hacktics provides a framework and foundation for the growth hacking skill set required for today’s digital marketing. // What is Growth Hacking?

Traditionally, these technical pieces have required web developers, outsourcing to third parties or have been abandoned altogether and substituted with prayers to the god of Facebook ‘Boosts.’ Our role here at Hacktics is to provide an understanding and step-by-step implementation of these ‘technical’ components - and to help our students build a foundation of tracking, systems and automation. If growth is true north, then data is your compass. With the proper implementation of tracking systems and automation, your data actually starts to make sense. Moreover, by keeping your funnel architecture ‘in-house’ your data feedback loops become much clearer; allowing you to see which marketin
