Today I'm diving into a question I often hear from founders: How did Slack grow so fast? What was the key factor that really made the difference?
I was fortunate enough to get an inside view of Slack from the early days, joining as CMO around employee #50. During my time there, I built out the marketing team and eventually led sales, customer success, and support.
In this episode, I want to share some of the most effective growth strategies we used—practical approaches that I genuinely believe contributed significantly to Slack's rapid growth. My goal is simply to pass along insights that might help you in your own journey.
