029: The Art & Science of Hacking Growth with Morgan Brown (VP of Growth, Shopify)

Morgan Brown is Vice President of Growth Marketing for Shopify where he’s responsible for Shopify’s merchant growth. Prior to Shopify, he was a Director of Product at Facebook working in the Messenger organization. He is also the author of Hacking Growth: How Today’s Fastest-Growing Companies Drive Breakout Success. Morgan has spent his career helping companies of all sizes grow at the intersection of digital marketing and product development. Growth is a word that has nearly lost its meaning. Somewhere along the way, it went from a model that prioritized product and experimentation to being a synonym for performance. It’s become a label that gets slapped on everything from growth hacking to growth PR. But that doesn’t mean it no longer has value. Morgan has gone from working at agencies during the birth of digital marketing to leading product management at Facebook. In this episode of The Long Game, Morgan shares his early introduction to growth, the career lessons he’s learned, and the successful tactics employed by his team at Shopify.Connect with Morgan Brown:ShopifyLinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedin: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/
