Zurich, 7 November 2019 – Westhive Consulting, the consulting unit of coworking provider Westhive, hosted the first growth hacking session in Switzerland. During the half-day event, around 130 participants deepened their knowledge on the topic of growth hacking.

The afternoon started with a hands-on session by software provider HubSpot. HubSpot is one of the fastest growing software companies in the world, helping businesses with sales and inbound marketing. Daniele Delle Donne, Principal Partner Manager at HubSpot, who travelled from Berlin especially for the Westhive Growth Hacking session, showed a select group how to systematically generate leads and convert them into customers with HubSpot.
