New this week 🪄 1/ Chart Annotations ✏️ We believe a chart is worth a thousand words.
 But sometimes, even the best chart isn't enough. That’s why we’re introducing Chart Annotations.
 Simply click on a data point to customize its color, add a text annotation, and share more than what meets the eye. 2/ Table picker in Charts 📈 We noticed that it wasn’t always easy to find how to add a date range to a chart. Now it is. When adding a new chart, you can quickly browse through every table in your spreadsheet and pick the one you need.

Over the last few years we launched a handful of unconventional marketing campaigns at Rows.com I think they worked because they were both remarkable—defined as ‘unusual or surprising in a way that causes people to take notice’—and relevant to our audience. Our latest blogposts tells the story behind those launches. Here’s a quick walkthrough video of the blogpost and the campaigns!

Imagine spending 7 years to grow from zero to 50,000 users. And then surging from 50,000 to 1,000,000 users (20x growth) in only 12 months 🚀🤯 This is the true story of Rows.com, the Accel-backed next-gen spreadsheet. How Rows *finally* struck gold via head of growth Henrique Cruz: 1️⃣ Kept a waitlist & 1:1 onboarding for 3 years before going self-serve Learnings: - Start wide, then go narrow; this process helped Rows hone their ICP and north star metrics before scaling user acquisition - Emails get stale fast; use a verifier, don't try to convert folks who've waited >6 months 2️⃣ Rapidly tested channels, running 10+ experiments across 4 channels in 8 weeks Learnings: - Going direct to their audience worked better than paying for PR agencies - Community efforts (like templates) helped both acquisition and engagement - One of their best campaigns was putting billboards outside of Google & MSFT (and then using them in a social media campaign) 3️⃣ Found their 'exploding market' to breakout Learnings: - For Rows, this was their AI analyst; the announcement alone attracted 30 million views and 50k new users - Henrique attributes this to (a) a great demo video, (b) outreach to AI content creators to amplify the launch 4️⃣ Removed their homepage and went 'loginless' Learnings: - Bringing new users straight into the product actually tripled conversions to signup (from 11% to 27%) - This quintupled the number of new activated users per week, too, since it lower the barrier to using Rows - It's no wonder that ChatGPT recently moved to loginless, too Don't miss the full story in Growth Unhinged: https://lnkd.in/ebji6Y69 Thanks for sharing, Henrique & team! 🙏🙏 #plg #ai #startup
