Webinar – August 8 & 10, 2017 – Developer Marketing & Developer Relations – Similarities & Differences

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.

Evans Data reaches out to its global developer panel to produce two annual tactical marketing reports: Developer Marketing Survey Report and Developer Relations Survey Report. The Developer Marketing Survey contains software developers’ attitudes about marketing tools and programs used to promote and sell products to them. This report provides invaluable insight for your developer marketing campaigns. The Developer Relations Survey examines issues and elements of developer programs. This report provides invaluable insight for your developer program and advocacy.
