Episode 141 Suze Shardlow repeat broadcast of DevRel 101

Fireside with Voxgig

At this time of the year, evergreen trees and plants are brought indoors as we cling to reminders of freshness and hope for freshness to return in the spring. Here's an evergreen podcast episode on developer relations. Suze Shardlow is a freelancer with the strategic thinking your organisation needs if its going to develop and implement developer relations as a key business function. At the time of recording, Suze was Developer Community Manager with Redis, but has since moved to consultancy as a marketer, coder, published tech author, speaker and event emcee! In this conversation Suze offers really great insight in to the relationship between sales and DevRel and how you have to be really careful in your organisation not to position DevRel as just another part of the sales funnel because nothing turns off developers and damages a community of developers as trying to sell to them directly! We also discover how Suze got started in public speaking and the differences she sees between delivering a talk at an event and acting as emcee. Listen to this chat to get a very good understanding of how your organisation could think about DevRel and its DevRel strategy.
