We’re a tight-knit crew of scrappy growth experts.
That enough of a word salad for you? We’ll break it down.
Tight Knit
We’re trim but mighty. The peek-over-each-other’s-shoulder types of radical collaborators with bottomless zest to be better for ourselves, each other, and YOU!
Scrappy
Strapped with startup constraints? Let’s do this. Bringing an enterprise budget? Efficiency is the name of the game. No matter the starting line, we’re ready for go time.
Growth Experts
Our feet are firmly planted in seasoned marketing expertise. But there’s no gilded road that leads to growth: we test, optimize, refine, and test again with a never-ending (and sometimes “mad”) drive to streamline, find efficiencies, and forge your unique path to growth.
How We Work
Big-picture strategists + deeply experienced channel experts.
Your growth marketer is your map maker and wayfinder—keeping goals clearly defined, in sight, and the whole team focused on creating the smartest path to growth.
Your channel experts are the in-the-weeds, watching-every-dollar-spent efficiency finders and optimizers.

We Show Our Work
What growth marketing is:
measured, research-based, custom-to-you.
What growth marketing is NOT:
magic, secret-sauce, a playbook.
Tuff was born because we were tired of talking to startups and founders that were getting the runaround; being sold growth plans full of mysterious behind-the-scenes work, cumbersome roadblocks, shallow results, and quick wins with no follow through.
Tuff was born to be different.
We’re radically transparent: keeping you fully up to date on what we’re testing, how it’s performing, and what it means for short and long-term success. We’re also built to be highly autonomous or fully collaborative, becoming an always-on extension of your team.
And, bottom line: we’re laser-focused on revenue. If it’s not bringing in the bucks, it’s out.
Fully Remote Since Day One
No one city could handle this amount of talent.
In all seriousness, though, we’ve been a fully remote team since day one because we believe everyone does their best work when they’re in the place they love most.

What does it mean to be a great place to work?
We have awesome clients and certainly, we’re learning every day when it comes to our areas of expertise. One of the things we love most about growth marketing is the constant experimentation and diversity of client needs and growth channels. We’re always on our toes!
Our days are exciting, kinetic, full of big ideas and problem solving, celebrations, witty Slack banter, hard work and payoff.
