DevRel Blogs Part 8: plenty of DevRel teams can count views, attendance, and activity. Far fewer connect that work to strategic outcomes.

DevRel Blogs Part 7: DevRel's value is not just hearing developers. It is spotting representative feedback, advocating for change, and closing the loop to make that change visible. https://chrisreddington.com/blog/devrel-feedback-loop/

DevRel Blogs Part 6: developer communities are not brand communities, and communities are not the same as ecosystems. Subtle differences which make a big difference to your DevRel strategy. 💬 https://chrisreddington.com/blog/devrel-communities-not-brand-communities/

In this post, I argue that authentic advocacy is the foundation underneath these… https://chrisreddington.com/blog/devrel-four-pillars-authentic-foundation/

DevRel Blogs Part 3: developer experience is both a prerequisite for our work in DevRel and a result of it. I argue that this influences how we structure and measure our work. 🎯 https://chrisreddington.com/blog/devrel-developer-experience/

The second part of my series on the strategic case for Developer Relations: I explain how DevRel is better framed as value co-creation than marketing, and explore the implications for how we structure teams and design and mea… https://chrisreddington.com/blog/devrel-value-co-creation-not-marketing/

In 2024, I wrote my dissertation on Value Creation in DevRel. Converting it into a blog series has been on my list ever since, and I finally started 👀 https://chrisreddington.com/blog/devrel-value-creation/
