:: SPONSORED CHANNEL ::

Salesforce wanted to broaden awareness among business leaders and developers of their product offerings beyond an enterprise sales operations tool to a full API and mobile-first, cloud computing platform.

THE RESULT

GeekWire Underwriting provided the perfect opportunity for establishing thought leadership, targeted reach, and high frequency in content area custom built for Salesforce.

We established a year-long series of in-depth reports on cloud technology, underwritten by Salesforce, focusing on breaking news and exploring key trends in cloud computing, DevOps, enterprise technologies and more.

Launched in 2016, GeekWire’s full-time Cloud Tech reporter published over 150 articles in the first three months following the launch of this niche channel.

Each article exclusively displays Salesforce’s branding above the fold and includes a custom sponsored post. As the channel sponsor, Salesforce is also the presenting sponsor of the inaugural GeekWire Cloud Tech Summit.
