GrowthAssistant Reaches $12 Million Annual Revenue, Attributes Success to Global Talent Strategy

St. Louis, MO – GrowthAssistant, a company specializing in providing trained, college-educated offshore marketing professionals, has achieved an annual revenue run rate of $12 million. Co-founded by Jesse Pujji and Adriane Schwager, the company's success stems from a unique partnership forged in their middle school days in St. Louis public schools, leveraging their combined expertise in marketing and human resources.

The company's model focuses on embedding full-time "Growth Assistants" from the Philippines into top U.S. companies, handling manual and repetitive marketing tasks. This strategy allows client teams to concentrate on higher-level strategic initiatives. According to Jesse Pujji, "Global talent was the key to my success at Ampush, it gave us leverage over everyone else."

GrowthAssistant has rapidly expanded its operations, now boasting over 500 Growth Assistants placed with more than 200 clients, including notable names like DoorDash, Varsity Tutors, and quip. The company's swift ascent began with an initial surge of 400 leads overnight following a viral Twitter thread by Pujji, demonstrating significant market demand for their services.

Adriane Schwager, who previously led HR and built recruiting departments hiring thousands, brought critical talent acquisition expertise to the venture. Pujji, with a background from Wharton, Wall Street, and founding his first company Ampush, contributed extensive marketing and business scaling knowledge. Their complementary skills were pivotal, as Pujji noted, "My marketing experience + Adriane’s recruiting muscle made this a rocket-ship from launch."

The company emphasizes that its Growth Assistants are meticulously vetted, with only 1 in 400 applicants being hired, ensuring high-quality talent. This approach provides businesses with a cost-effective alternative to full-time U.S. employees, allowing for significant savings while maintaining productivity. GrowthAssistant's bootstrapped growth to "tens of millions in revenue" highlights the efficacy of their talent solution in the current market.
