This week I am presenting a DevRelate webinar, “Developer Marketing & Developer Relations – Similarities & Differences“, on Tuesday (August 8, 2017) and Thursday (August 10, 2017). This month’s webinar will focus on the background, education, roles, responsibilities, audiences, metrics, ROI and other aspects of developer marketing and developer relations team members. I will also cover how both teams work separately and together to create, manage and grow a developer ecosystem. This blog post contains links to additional resources and information covered in the webinar.

Evans Data Tactical Marketing Reports
Developer Marketing Survey – A survey of software developers’ attitudes about the marketing tools and programs used to promote and sell products to them. This report provides invaluable insight for your developer marketing campaigns, including:
- What are the psychographics that compel developers?
- What are the demographics of the typical developer?
- What web sites and search engines do developers visit most?
- How do contests and gamification fit in the mix?
- What are the natural price points and pricing elasticity of dev tools?
- What is the most powerful influencer for developers?
- Which marketing methods do they like most?…Which do they hate?
Essential for product promotions, pricing and forecasting, media planning, and all your developer marketing needs.
Developer Programs Survey – This comprehensive study of software developers examines issues and elements of developer programs. This report provides invaluable insight for your developer program, including:
- Which revenue model do developers prefer?
- What are the most important features of a developer program?

This DevRelate webinar explores the similar and different roles and responsibilities of Developer Marketing teams and Developer Relations advocates. While there are common elements and overlap for both groups, there are also important differences. Technology companies sometimes group developer marketing and developer relations into the same organization while others separate the two into marketing and technology organizations.
