Strategic marketing is GitLab's interface to the market. The market is made up of customers, analysts, press, thought leaders, competitors, etc. Strategic marketing enables other GitLab teams such as Sales, Marketing, and Channel with narrative, positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy to go outbound to the market. Strategic marketing does market research to gather customer knowledge, analyst views, market landscapes, and competitor intelligence providing marketing insights inbound to the rest of GitLab.
Strategic marketing creates many types of content for communicating and positioning GitLab for multiple audiences. Some of the different kinds of content produced by Strategic Marketing are listed below.
Strategic Marketing Content Analytics
Marketing decks linked on this page are the latest approved decks from Strategic Marketing that should be always be in a state that is ready to present. As such there should never be comments or WIP slides in a marketing deck. If you copy the deck to customize it please give it a relevant title, for example include the name of the customer and an ISO date.
To request updates to these decks see requesting help from the strategic marketing department
The following list of print collateral is maintained for use at trade shows, prospect and customer visits. The GitLab marketing pages should be downloaded as PDF documents if a print copy for any marketing purposes is needed.
The Strategic Marketing team also develops messaging and collaterals that aligns with a buyer's needs and a journey with GitLab supporting those needs. For example, a customer with a specific problem of SCM does not need to be sold the value of the single application. Rather these use case based messaging and collaterals will help when talking to customers to address their specific pain points.
To encourage reuse and collaboration, we have a shared folder of past abstracts for different speaking events.
