Sample Response: Associate

As a Content Manager at WebMedia, I had a firsthand experience implementing growth hacking strategies within our content marketing campaigns. One notable instance was the launch of a new product line where we needed to create awareness and generate interest among a new demographic.

We decided to leverage user-generated content as a growth hacking strategy. This included encouraging customers to share their unique product experiences with a branded hashtag, and running a contest for the most creative user story. We used Google Analytics, ContentStudio, and SEMrush for monitoring social shares, website traffic, and search rankings respectively.

This translated into a significant boost for our brand's online visibility, social following, and product interest due to the enhanced reach, interaction and authenticity provided by the user-generated content. Over a three month period, we saw website traffic increase by 30%, social shares rose by 50% and our product saw a 20% increase in sales.
