We're building something special with AI and are looking for a few more talented full stack engineers in Ottawa and Palo Alto to join our world-class founding team.
Reach out if you want to learn more.
It’s an amazing time to be building again. 🚀
Most all of the good growth levers are very technical in nature and having a technical background is a massive advantage. Especially for marketing and growth.
4. Why Shopify Expects All Sales and Marketing People to be Able to Code
If our marketers want to create a landing page, they have to go to GitHub.
We always want people to learn new things. We will gladly teach them SQL.
Really intrigued, @alexschultz @luclevesque @onecaseman how important do you think this engineering mindset is to marketing/growth?

After stints as a senior executive at two of the tech industry’s biggest global players, Luc Levesque is pausing to take a well-deserved break for a bit of play himself.

Life update: After 4 amazing years, I’ve decided to step down from my role as @Shopify’s Chief Growth Officer and have transitioned to an advisory role. Thanks @Tobi, @Harley and @Kaz, it’s been a blast!
More on why and what’s next here: luclevesque.com/blogs/luc-le…
Stumbled onto the CEO of the 49ers blueprint: coda.io/d/Meet-Jed_dgxiQYyay….
Fun to see the blueprint getting used in the wild. coda.io/@luc-levesque/bluepr…
@JedYork I agree, especially #3. "If you're not early, your late". Excited to start the new season, lets Go Niners!
100+ product updates for @Shopify Editions. Can’t wait to hear what our merchants think of these.
Shopify Editions is back with another 100+ product updates.

Sometimes a podcast episode doesn't get the attention it deserves, and my chat with @luclevesque is one of those. Don't miss this one, especially if you're:
∟ Trying to unlock growth
∟ Are doing SEO
∟ Want to get better at hiring
∟ Enjoy self-improvement
∟ Love funny stories
This is the story of @Shopify and why we do what we do for millions of entrepreneurs every day.
Ya, Google's testing many variants right now to figure out the right trade offs between revenue/user experience.
Interestingly, I did a deeper analysis a few weeks ago and found less Search Ads vs the current results xitter.cf/DennisMoons/status/166…
I would expect a lot of ads above generative responses going forward. If the answers get better ( which I expect they will ), pageviews will go down and they'll need to compensate for the loss with more ads above the fold / in the golden triangle.

"You can literally build an entire business around that first spot [in Google search results]." - @luclevesque on @lennysan's podcast.
Ties to @RaviMGupta's push for insane focus on one thing on @InvestLikeBest
Applies to way more than SEO, I think

BIG DEAL: Shop Pay will be available to all enterprise retailers, no matter their commerce stack.
Shop Pay boosts conversion by as much as 50% compared to a guest checkout. If you’re not using it, you're now leaving on money on the table.

I had the opportunity to work with and learn from @luclevesque for 5 years across Meta & Shopify. His interview w/ @lennysan is an excellent distillation of some of my most important takeaways from that time. High recommend watching/listening: youtube.com/watch?v=Xf_ZXIGC…
Really enjoyed my chat with @lennysan. Check out the podcast below.
So much 🔥 in my chat with @luclevesque:
• Signs your company should explore SEO as a growth channel, and strategies to do so
• Tips for finding a great growth advisor and how to vet them
• What Mark Zuckerberg taught Luc about recruiting
• Luc's unique framework for self-improvement
• Why every leader needs to become world-class at hiring
• Much more
