This is the presentation we made at IdeaLabs in Antwerp, Belgium, for the "Unicorns & Rainbow" conference. The main topic was growth hacking.
We wanted the audience (and you guys) to test (and improve) those growth hacks for your own businesses. Those hacks were tested during our weekly iterations here at Mention.
Enjoy :)

31. STEP 1: BUILD A LANDING PAGE
Create a simple form that requires an email address.
32. STEP 2: LISTEN TO EMAIL AND ENRICH IT
Get the email even before submitting and call the Augur.io API
$('form-input').focusout(function() {
var emailValue = $(‘.form-input').val();
window.augurAPI = "http://api.augur.io/v2/user?key=XXXX&email="+ emailValue;

33. STEP 3: GET THE DATA & PUSH IT TO SEGMENT
And reuse that data in every app that integrates with your segment account.
