Growth Marketing

The Growth Marketing cohort aims to change and challenge the traditional marketing paradigm. We focus on helping others become who they seek to become through the stories we share about the things we build and the people for whom we build them.

Product

The Product cohort’s responsibility is to understand people and how they use “things” deeply – aka, how our customers use our products. This allows us to design products that facilitate the simplest and easiest experience of our customers’ days.
