About PostHog
PostHog is the open-source Product OS - it's a suite of product and data tools, built on the modern data stack. We provide product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, event pipelines, and a data warehouse. PostHog can be deployed to the cloud, or self-hosted on existing infrastructure, removing the need to send user data to a 3rd party.
PostHog was created as an open-source project during Y Combinator's W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on HackerNews since 2012 - with a product that was just 4 weeks old. Since then, more than 10,000 companies have installed the platform, we've had huge success with our paid upgrades, and we have raised $27m from some of the world's top investors, and have shown strong product-led growth - 97% driven by word of mouth. Despite the 📉 tech market, we're default alive and doing better than ever!
We've been averaging >20% monthly revenue growth and we didn't raise a huge / now-overpriced round in 2021. While others are focused on layoffs and struggling to grow into huge valuations, we're focusing on an awesome product for end users, hiring (a handful of) exceptional team members, and seeing fantastic increases in revenue as a result.
About our Marketing team:
We have loads of awesome stuff to write content about.
We value depth over volume - if you want to spend 2 weeks writing a really in-depth guide, go for it!
You'll have tons of autonomy to decide what to write about, but also the support of our Marketing team and paid ads agency to give you insights.
We have a super-engaged developer community which you'll be creating content for.
We're only just getting started - our Marketing team is just 4 people but has an outsized impact.

Your team's mission and objectives
Increase the number of ICP visitors to our website
Objective:
- Expand PostHog’s top of funnel awareness across all our core individual products - product analytics, session recording, feature flags, and A/B testing.
Key Results:
- Increase overall weekly website traffic to 27k unique visitors per week (filtering out viral spikes).
- Increase ‘first user in org’ signups to 600 per week without decreasing the percentage that are ICPs (20-25%).
- Make Tutorials our 3rd most visited section (after Docs and Blogs)
- Increase number of subscribers to Product for Engineers to 1,500
- Get 200 orgs to sign up to the startup deal
- Increase 28 day YouTube watch time to 227 hours
Rationale:
- We frequently get brand mentions where people are saying ‘Amplitude, Mixpanel or PostHog’. We want them to also say things like ‘LaunchDarkly or PostHog’, ‘FullStory or PostHog’, and 'Optimizely or PostHog'.
- While SEO remains very important to us, we want to diversify our audience slightly so we are not so dependent on it as a single channel as a defensive move, especially if there are AI-related changes to search in future. Building things like our newsletter, YouTube channel, and our startup community will help us do this.
- While tutorials often do not drive top of funnel awareness for people who have never heard of PostHog, they will help drive awareness of other products once users are signed up to PostHog.
Anti-goals
- Trying a new channel. Working on community. Working with developer influencers. TikTok.
