What is Growth Marketing?
Growth marketing goes beyond digital marketing. It’s not just about running ads or generating leads — it’s about building sustainable, scalable systems that impact the whole customer journey.
A traditional marketing agency might focus on awareness and acquisition. Growth marketing digs deeper, covering:
-
Acquisition – finding and converting the right audiences
-
Activation – helping new users reach their “aha!” moment
-
Retention – keeping customers engaged and loyal
-
Revenue – increasing lifetime value and profitability
-
Referral – turning happy customers into advocates
That’s why so many companies are searching for a growth marketing agency. But the truth is, you don’t need an agency — you need the right people, working the right way.
Why Not a Traditional Agency?
Many businesses default to hiring a growth marketing agency when they hit a wall with growth. But the agency model comes with baggage:
-
High overheads baked into retainers
-
Junior staff delivering most of the work
-
Hidden subcontractors (without your knowledge)
-
Rigid retainers that don’t flex as your needs change
At Rise, we’ve stripped that model back.
