Developer Relations Workshops.
Bring us in to lead facilitated workshops on important Developer Relations topics.
What is Developer Relations?
The practice of Developer Relations is still new; as such, you and your team may not have the skills and insight to build your program as fast as you or your stakeholders would like. Or perhaps your executive team is still trying to grasp what this 'DevRel' thing is, and why they should support it.
Developer Relations is an umbrella term that refers to a business strategy, a profession, a program, and a set of activities, all focused on interacting with Developer as a route to market.

Developer Relations is Unique.
There are many differentiators that make Developer Relations unique. Because of that, it requires a different approach to your marketing and product strategies. From understanding the target audience of developers, the way developers adopt products, to the ensuing revenue models.
Your own variables will also come into play as to how you operationalize your Developer Program, such as:
​
-
What is the developer product you are supporting?
-
Are you a Developer First or Developer Plus company?
-
Do you report to Marketing, Product, the CEO, or elsewhere?
-
What is your target audience?
-
What goals have your stakeholders set?
-
What kind of support do you have?
A Business to Developer (B2D) or Developer-Led Growth (DLG) strategy is challenging. Success requires your team to be experts in their field, plus experts on the needs of developers. It also requires alignment with your stakeholders and good cross-functional collaboration in your organization.
Knowing what to do for your own program and your unique set of circumstances is the challenge.
