Growth marketing has emerged as one of the most dynamic and impactful approaches to scaling businesses, blending data-driven strategies with creative innovation.

As we gear up for B2B Marketing Exchange West (#B2BMX West), we’re diving into this key topic to explore its definition, trends, and how it will take center stage at the event.
What Is Growth Marketing?
At its core, growth marketing is a comprehensive approach that optimizes every stage of the customer lifecycle, focusing on sustained and scalable growth. According to the Revenue Marketing Alliance, it blends creativity, data analysis, and customer insights to drive acquisition, retention, and revenue. Unlike traditional marketing, growth marketing uses rapid experimentation across various channels to identify what truly works for target audiences, emphasizing long-term growth over short-term wins.
