The Growth Hacking methodology uses technology to quickly build and develop a business, utilising digital tactics for market research and marketing purposes. Despite one wag describing 'growth hacking' as the Shoreditch term for 'marketing', last week's SME Growth Hack event explored how to hack rapid business growth.

Employing cloud-based tools for management, Growth Hackers make the most of current innovations to allow entrepreneurs to test their business and change it rapidly. Raj Kotecha, MD of Creative Content Agency sat down with Chinwag's Dylan Fuller to discuss how to 'Hack the Global Marketing Platforms'. Here's the video:

Ed: When long-time Chinwag contributor, Jemima Gibbons, heard about the SME Growth Hack she kindly put together this blog post with 6 crucial questions to develop an SME's social media strategy. Excellent prep for the event. Got your ticket?

Following our recent post on Facebook's healthy earnings, a twitter exchange led to Paul Fabretti's, Digital and Social Media Lead for Telefónica Europe, personal blog where he digs into more detail on mobile and the ageing of social media users.

There’s a lot of planning going on in the business at the moment – our social teams are preparing for 2014 activities and perhaps by default, that also means trying to look beyond 2014 at the kinds of strategic, structural and systems challenges that should be on our radar.
