Our approach

Multi-format coverage, built on content we know lands with Nikki's audience.

Filmed onsite with your team

Nikki films at your booth or session, interviewing your engineering and product leaders and breaking down what you're launching, for a senior engineering audience.

Proven Level Up Coding topics

Your static posts build on some of our highest-performing existing content, mapped to what you're showing at re:Invent, rather than topics written around the sponsor.

More than one channel

You appear in different contexts: an onsite video, a proven topic on LinkedIn & X, and the newsletter, which reaches engineers in a channel separate from their social feeds.

Questions
What does the newsletter add?
It puts you directly in the inbox of 35,000+ senior engineers, architects and engineering leaders, reaching them in a channel separate from their social feeds.
Do we choose the topics?
We propose topics our audience already responds to, then shape them with you around what you most want to highlight.
What if we don't have a booth?
We can film around one of your sessions instead.
Can we reshare the content?
Yes, organically. Paid promotion is available separately.
Where does the call to action point?
One page of your choice: a launch, a guide or a report. One link keeps clicks focused.
How will we know it worked?
We share a 7-day performance report for each piece, with impressions and clicks, and a summary across the campaign.
How does our brand appear in the content?
Each post stands on its own as an educational engineering resource, with your product in a natural role, one link, and a partner disclosure at the end of the post.
Why are places limited?
We film up to two shoots a day so each gets proper preparation, and post at most three sponsored pieces a week.

Onsite video slots are limited.

We plan each shoot around your sessions, so brands need to be locked in by Friday 13 November.

Working with Freeman & Forrest? Your account manager can book it for you.
