Engagement/Dev Marketing Durable Team
Contents
Overview
We're the Dev Marketing Durable Team. We are a "durable" (aka Agile) team within Marketing, focused on engaging with developers. Our charter is to increase the visibility and perception of Mozilla with developers, highlight the great products and technology work going on at Mozilla, and help our engineering teams increase their reach and impact as they engage with developers. We run campaigns, create content, host events, and build community, with lots of help from Developer relations, Platform and Firefox teams.
