Freelance Growth Marketing in Philadelphia

What a freelance growth marketer does

A freelance growth marketer sits between demand generation and product analytics: running paid and organic acquisition while instrumenting what happens after the click. The role exists because most acquisition problems turn out to be activation problems.

A typical engagement produces:

• paid and organic acquisition campaigns in market
• landing pages and offers built for testing
• activation and onboarding experiments
• cohort reporting that connects spend to retained users
