Currently there are three main channels in which the Naftiko go-to-market focuses, with other supporting channels supporting along the way, helping keep things focused on a regular drumbeat of activity across these locations.

Naftiko

The Naftiko blog is the primary destination for stories and conversations, providing a regular and consistent cadence when it comes to storytelling across a variety of topics, but centered around capabilities, building traffic over time and using it as a center of other networks.

API Evangelist

We publish to API Evangelist properties to take advantage of existing SEO and traffic, but also to provide a more opinionated perspective on some topics that we probably wouldn’t want to publish to the primary Naftiko blog, keeping the brands separate but working together.

Medium

We are using Medium as a secondary blog network, while also using it for information gathering as part of market research, but we will increasingly be publishing blog posts there that we first publish to the Naftiko blog, and then syndicate later to Medium for the network effect.

Social Media

We are staying focused on two social media channels right now until we get our footing underneath us as part of our go-to-market, syndicating content to both locations, but also leveraging the network effect that exists on these two platforms.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn provides the primary business profile for our go-to-market activities, tapping into the network of founders, but also working to build the presence of the Naftiko page, publishing regular posts and stories, and engaging with the ecosystem when it comes to capabilities.

Reddit

Right now we are primarily using Reddit for information gathering as part our market research and community building, but we will begin syndicating content from the ecosystem there, and eventually when we gain more confidence, begin publishing Naftiko stories there about capabilities.

We aren't actively reporting into these ecosystems, but we are tuned into the Gartner and G2 analyst realsm, engaging with analysts on LinkedIn, and actively sharing their information, while using them to inform our market research.

Gartner

We are only currently tuned into the Gartner ecosystem as part of our go-to-market, but once we have a product we will begin formally engaging with the Gartner ecosystem as a paid customer, but for now the Gartner reports play a strong role in the go-to-market storytelling.

G2

We are currently using G2 for information gathering and market research, but we will also start reporting more information as part of their formal processes once we have a couple releases under our belt, ensuring that our product is aligned, but also part of the G2 narrative.
