Know what a GROWTH STACK is?

It’s a set of tools that work together seamlessly to drive growth.

The key word here is ‘seamlessly’.

If you’re serious about growth, you should really consider documenting processes for everything you do.

We use SweetProcess for that.

That’s one tool in our growth stack.

Here are the rest:

INTEGRATIONS (to connect different apps together)

• Zapier – to connect different apps via API
• Google Tag Manager – to make it easy to install scripts on a website
• Leadsbridge – to connect Facebook Lead Ads and Custom Audiences with email marketing software
• Wufoo – to create forms that integrate with everything

• Facebook Pixel – to retarget on Facebook and Instagram
• LinkedIn Insight Tag – to retarget, track conversions and get deeper insights on LinkedIn
