What's New in Growth Hacking/Growth Marketing?

Strategies

• Google Chrome Skills Turn Gemini Prompts Into Reusable Workflows
  Google is rolling out Skills to Gemini in Chrome on desktop, letting users save prompts as reusable one-click tools and run them across selected tabs.

• Shorter, Focused Content Wins In ChatGPT
  For years, SEOs have operated on a simple assumption: The more ground your content covers, the more likely it is to surface in AI-generated answers. In fact, every “best practice” in classic SEO content pushes you toward more: more subtopics, more sections, more words.

• How Google’s removal tools work for SEO and reputation management
  When a client calls about a damaging search result, you might typically default to one of two responses: “we can suppress it” or “there’s nothing we can do.” Both skip the middle ground where Google’s removal tools live.Google provides tools to remove or deindex content from search results. They’re underused, frequently misunderstood, and often conflated.

• Snap is cutting 1,000 jobs, 16% of its workforce
  Snap is laying off roughly 16% of its global workforce, impacting around 1,000 full-time employees, according to a memo sent to staff from Snap CEO Evan Spiegel on Wednesday. The company cites advancements in AI for the cuts.

• Adobe’s new Firefly AI assistant can use Creative Cloud apps to complete tasks
  The Firefly AI Assistant will be available in public beta in the coming weeks. The company didn’t specify if the AI assistant will be priced differently from Firefly’s credit-based subscription tiers.

• Spotify launches the ability to purchase physical books in the US and UK
  As of this week, the new feature is officially live in the U.S. and the U.K., allowing users to purchase physical books through the Spotify app.

• AI rewards brand meaning and punishes everything else

  As AI reshapes discovery, brands built on transactions lose ground. Use this prompt to test and strengthen your brand’s visibility.

• AI is reshaping what entry-level marketing work looks like
  AI’s deep research tools can generate comprehensive audience assessments, map competitive landscapes and audit SEO content gaps that used to require days, if not weeks, of manual labor. Doing this requires taking on tasks that were once handled by entry-level employees

Reach more audiences with Performance TV

Here’s the ideal TV advertising scenario: Full-screen, non-skippable ads on premium streaming channels targeting the right audiences.

You don’t want to buy broad inventory and be left questioning if it’s working. You want ads that actually get watched by the right customers.

Modern, performance-driven CTV on premium placements with transparency around what outcomes are actually happening is the answer.

Your media team opens Slack at 8am. There's a cross-platform brief in #growth: Google Ads spend vs. ROAS, Meta CPA by campaign, Stripe revenue by channel. Viktor posted it at 6am. Nobody asked for it.

Last week, one team's Viktor caught a spend spike at 2am on a broad match campaign and flagged it in Slack: "CPA up 340%. Recommend pausing and shifting budget to the top two performers." That would have burned $3K by morning. The media buyer woke up to a problem already handled.

• Your Owned Content Is Losing To A Stranger’s Reddit Comment
  The next time you ask an AI what product to buy, which agency to hire, or which software platform actually works, pay attention to where the answer comes from. Increasingly, it does not come from the vendor’s own website.

• How to make AI work with context instead of prompts
  Artificial intelligence is at an inflection point. Over the past few years, enterprises have rushed to adopt large language models (LLMs), experimenting with prompts, copilots and chat interfaces. These early wins created excitement, but they also revealed a deeper truth: while AI can generate impressive outputs, it still struggles to operate reliably within the realities of an enterprise.

AI Agents Are Reading Your Docs. Are You Ready?

Last month, 48% of visitors to documentation sites across Mintlify were AI agents—not humans.

Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents are becoming the actual customers reading your docs. And they read everything.

This changes what good documentation means. Humans skim and forgive gaps. Agents methodically check every endpoint, read every guide, and compare you against alternatives with zero fatigue.

Your docs aren't just helping users anymore—they're your product's first interview with the machines deciding whether to recommend you.

That means:
→ Clear schema markup so agents can parse your content
→ Real benchmarks, not marketing fluff
→ Open endpoints agents can actually test
→ Honest comparisons that emphasize strengths without hype

In the agentic world, documentation becomes 10x more important. Companies that make their products machine-understandable will win distribution through AI.

Experts Would Invest $100,000 in This Alternative Now

A new Knight Frank report made an unexpected declaration. It revealed that 44% of family offices are investing more in residential real estate now. And, you don’t need to be Warren Buffet to see why.

Since 2000, residential real estate outperformed the S&P 500 by 70% in total returns. It’s the only asset that pays you to own it, grows while you sleep, and shields your gains from the IRS. 

That’s why you need mogul. It’s a real estate platform that lets you invest in institutional-grade rental properties. You get monthly rental income, capital appreciation and tax benefits without a down payment or 3 a.m. tenant calls. In fact, over 20,000 investors have joined. 

Here’s Why:

• Tax Benefits

• +7% annual yields

• 18.8% avg annual IRR

TLDR: You can invest in high quality real estate for a fraction of the cost. Why wait?

Tech Industry Shifts

This week’s  News Bulletin explores how AI acceleration is reshaping competition, commerce, and control across industries.

As AI drastically lowers the cost of building products, the real edge shifts to marketing, distribution, and user experience. At the same time, debates around AI development, regulation, and open innovation are intensifying, while infrastructure and sustainability startups race to support the next wave of computing.

In parallel, Amazon raises the bar on instant delivery, Semrush repositions for AI-driven visibility, and platforms like Instagram navigate the growing tension between privacy and regulation.

The takeaway: building is easier than ever. Winning is harder than ever.
