#Growth Marketing: Final Round Winners

In the first place, we have:

I probably had over 200+ submissions from interested prospects. I probably did Zoom calls with about 10 different women. And out of that, I met 4 in person. And the last woman I met, we’re still together.

Sorry, no picture of her… yet. She said she’ll let me drop a press release if we get married.

Of all the growth hacks I’ve implemented over the years, this is by far my best. After all, what’s the value of finding love? Priceless.

That was a fun read, @0xjack! Congratulation on winning $1000!

The second position is won by:

“Focusing on a best-fit prospect segment doesn't always make sense to people who don't have a marketing background. If I wanted to increase my chances of landing a customer, would I want to target as broad a market as possible? The reality is the exact opposite. The broader your focus, the more difficult it is to connect with prospects and convince them that your solution is the best one for them.”

Congratulations,@electriccopy! You have won $600!

In the third place, we have:

On the one hand, it seems that they can completely replace marketing specialists, but it is still worth considering them as a tool to achieve goals. In any case, someone should set the tasks for the neural network, and this will be a person, at least for now. Today, neural networks can help solve a number of tasks facing marketers, thereby facilitating their work, saving money and creating high-quality results.

Yay, @julietde, well deserved! You have won $400!
