Schaeffer Arnold is a growth marketing leader with a decade of experience scaling acquisition and brand programs across developer-focused and consumer businesses, currently heading Growth Marketing at Anvil in San Francisco. He built high-impact programs at Sentry—scaling paid search from $5k/week to $60k/week, growing YouTube subscribers from 50 to 5.5k, and driving developer content and community initiatives—blending creative brand work (OOH campaigns) with rigorous performance channels. Earlier roles at DIY.org, Hired, and Cater2.me show a track record of diversifying acquisition channels, launching referral programs that materially moved revenue, and leading sales and growth teams. He mentors and advises startups regularly and pairs an MBA in Entrepreneurship with hands-on experimentation, from front-end tweaks in Sentry’s docs to full-funnel paid strategies. An unusual detail: his obsession with growth began after earning over $100k in Lyft ride credits via referrals, reflecting a knack for creative, viral acquisition tactics. He’s equally comfortable shipping UI changes for promotional messaging as he is designing multi-channel growth programs that scale.
