Growth Strategies Case Study

Craigslist.org’s Growth Strategies

OR

Abstract:
Craigslist.org founded in 1995 as a free on-line classifieds site serving the Bay Area has become a treasure trove of job postings, personal ads and other on-line information, attracting one billion page views per month. The success of the site is largely attributable to its chairman Craig Newmark's vision of the Internet and the distinct brand identity he was able to create for the site.

Pedagogical Objectives:

• To discuss how a simple ordinary looking website with its ease of use has disrupted the traditional classified advertising industry.
