Pillars of Growth Marketing powered by Martech
Customer acquisition (efficient CCS)
One of the biggest challenges of Growth Marketing is to reduce the Cost of Customer Acquisition (CAC) while increasing the quality of leads.
Key tools:
- Google Ads & Meta Ads: Use of AI algorithms for bid optimization.
- Programmatic Advertising: Platforms such as The Trade Desk or DV360 allow you to buy advertising inventory in real time.
- Technical SEO: Tools such as Ahrefs, SEMrush and Screaming Frog help identify organic growth opportunities.
Use case:
A SaaS startup can use lookalike audiences in Meta Ads, combined with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to identify the most efficient channels and adjust their investment in real time.
Activation and Onboarding
Once the lead has been captured, the next step is to convert it into an active user. This is where communication flow automation comes into play.
Key tools:
- Email Marketing (ActiveCampaign, HubSpot)
- Chatbots (ManyChat, Intercom)
- Product-Led Growth (PLG) Tools (Appcues, Userpilot)
Use case:
A fintech can implement an automated drip campaign with ActiveCampaign, sending personalized emails based on user behavior on the platform.
Retention (LTV)
Sustainable growth depends not only on acquiring customers, but also on retaining them and increasing their lifetime value (LTV).
Key tools:
- CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot CRM)
- CDP (Customer Data Platform) such as Segment or Bloomreach
- Loyalty Tools (Smile.io, Talon.One)
Use case:
An e-commerce can use a CDP to unify data from multiple sources (web, app, email) and create hyper-personalized segments, offering specific discounts based on purchase history.
Upselling
Martech can identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities through predictive analytics.
Key tools:
- Dynamic Pricing (ProsperStack, RevOps)
- A/B Testing (Optimizely, VWO)
- Payment Processors (Stripe, PayPal with smart routing)
Use case:
A streaming platform can use Optimizely to test different subscription models (annual vs. monthly) and determine which one generates higher conversion.
Integration of Martech in the Growth Stack
For a Growth Marketing strategy to be effective, Martech tools must be properly integrated into a Growth Stack.
A typical Growth Stack includes:
| Category | Examples of Tools |
|---|---|
| Analytics | GA4, Mixpanel, Amplitude |
| Automation | Zapier, Make (Integromat) |
| CRM | Salesforce, HubSpot |
| Email Marketing | Klaviyo, Mailchimp |
| Ads Optimization | Revealbot, Hyros |
| CRO (Conversion) | Hotjar, Unbounce |
Example of integration:
- A user arrives through a Google Ads.
- GA4 logs the session and sends the data to Segment.
- Segment triggers a flow in Klaviyo to send an automated email.
- If the user does not convert, Revealbot adjusts the bid in Google Ads automatically.
