S02E24: Inside Duolingo’s growth engine with Gina Gotthilf
With over 500 million registered learners, 40 million active users, and $190 million in revenues (2020), Duolingo is one of the most successful consumer apps out there.
The app, which helps millions of users learn new languages, did all this in just under 10 years. From being one of the first apps to use gamification, and entering popular culture through its quirky notification copy, Duolingo is an app that has carved a unique voice for itself.
Gina Gotthilf, who led international growth as well as marketing at the startup has an insider's view on how they pulled it off. In the latest episode of The Orbit Shift Podcast, we unpack Duolingo’s marketing strategy with Gina.
The former VP of Marketing at the language learning app talks to us about her journey, the experiments that she’s run as part of Duolingo. Gina also talks to us about how she’s looking to build her latest venture Latitud, which helps founders from Latin America build world-class products.
