EP32: Startup Growth Tips From Growth Hacking Expert Vincent Dignan

Introducing Vincent Dignan

He’s an entrepreneur, he’s a speaker, he’s a growth hacker, he’s Vincent Dignan. Whether it’s digital marketing or his unique stylish wardrop, he knows how to make a splash. In this exclusive interview he shares his startup growth tips.

As mentioned on his website, Vincent helps early-stage companies through a combination of rapid social media growth, guerrilla community management tactics, and growth hacks which have seen companies go from zero to thousands of signups/followers/users virtually overnight- so “hacking” is his specialty.

Early in his career he launched 2 digital magazines that got over 1,000,000 visitors per month and from that point on people wanted to know his secret sauce and startup growth tips.  Vincent went from digital magazine to growth-hacker at that point.

He founded Planet Ivy and Screen Robot. They received nearly 20 million page views without any paid marketing spend.

His first book was released with a bang on Indiegogo and has raised over $100,000. It offers some incredible insights for growth. In the book, Vincent shares a story he created for a marketing play on Indiegogo that allowed him to narrow down who he is talking to and where to find that audience type. It’s powerful stuff.

On a personal note, I came across Vincent and his work during Neil Patel’s Virtual Summit which led me to reach out and connect for this interview.
