My name is Julian, I’m 21 years old and I’ve been working on marketing & growth for 5 years now. After co-founding a digital side-business studio and an import-export company, I am now Co-founder & Head of Growth at The Secret Company, a startup studio with a pirate mindset, secret co-founder of 10+ startups.

Over the past two years, my role at The Secret Company has been to develop our businesses through growth and marketing actions. I learned many strategies, found many resources, and most importantly used many tools. In less than 20 months, I helped 10 companies to develop their business from 0 to 10 M€ ARR. This allowed me to draw up a list of the best pirate marketing tools that I tested & validated to develop your business (Startup, SME, Muse…). In this article, I want to share all the best tools I’ve discovered over the past 2 years, how to use them, and at what stage.
