Grow with Ward

I am one of the first 20 certified growth hackers in Europe. I work with companies and startups on a daily basis to let them grow (faster) as my customers. I help you take the step to data-driven marketing, show you the biggest bottlenecks and opportunities of your company and help you get your leads, conversions and ambassadors under control.

Freelance Growth Marketing Expert

10-20 times a year, I get hired to speak at conferences, meetups and podcasts. A passionate, vibrant person, sharing his stories and vision is much more interesting than just words.

I am one of the first growth hackers in Europe and have extensive experience as a speaker at events and 100+ workshops. I also help companies of all sizes as a growth hacking consultant. I provide a combination of inspiration, motivation and new knowledge, all at the same time.

GrowthOrange - Growth Management Software

GrowthOrange is the Experiment Management Tool for Growth Teams to keep track of your experiments, learnings and related tasks.  

I created this tool as no current software was covering the needs as I saw them with my consulting clients: self-built solutions in Airtable/Notion/Excel are too buggy/prone to error and therefore I've been saying that I'd built this tool for 5 years, build/validated it in 1 year and now it's finally live. Together with my wife (as marketing/support), we're scaling this tool up to be a new household name in the Growth industry.

Your full GROWS Process is now covered within one tool: this is your central place to get started in the morning and oversee what experiments are coming, live or completed. From here, you can brainstorm new ideas, assign subtasks to colleagues and document learnings from each growth experiment.

- I’ve worked with 80+ tools (like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Optimizely, Expandi, Tag Manager and Zapier) and I’m always up-to-date with the latest techniques, trends and insights.

Next to that, I spend almost all my spare-time sharing knowledge on GrowWithWard.com to help growth hackers, marketers and founders all over the world, to make growth hacking applicable to them. 

I love helping others and am super proud of the current status:
- 15K monthly readers of the blog, which is the biggest growth hacking blog worldwide.
