  31. Appendix Marketing Goals & Planning Discussion

  32. Marketing Statistics & Trends A clear understanding of your projects’ 2-3 top goals is necessary. This directly shapes the marketing plan, resource allocation, focus and ability to deliver impact and ROI. B2B technology/software companies on average devote 9.3% of the corporate budget to marketing, which is nearly 10% of revenue. [https://smartsearchmarketing.com/b2b-marketing-budgets] According to Forrester Research, CMOs of B2B companies spend 24% of their marketing budget on live events The Linux Foundation Internal Use Only 8/13/18

  33. LF DL Key Audience Snapshot Primary market/audience (vertical industry + user profile) Acumos: how to manage the AI; Angel/EDL distributed infra for AI DL-centric will attract non-OSS DL fans, can build individual sub-brands from there (these might be more meaningful to OSS fans) How do you measure your traction in your primary market? # of meetup/DL Days attendees Membership # of POCs/deployments Community health stats Timezone/gender diversity ok; need to go beyond telcos to mfg, utility/energy, life sciences (2H19? priority) AI/Ops, Security skillsets needed Intra-DL collaboration Academic engagement, via model development and/or code Top community wins YTD POC - AT&T stores of models, Orange soon The Linux Foundation Internal Use Only 8/13/18

  34. Marketing Discussion Questions What is your top priority regarding your primary audience? (Deepen penetration? Attract new developers, contributors? More models? More members? Expand to new user types? Expand to new verticals? Other?) Which adjacent tech areas are becoming increasingly relevant for LF DL? How do those other techs affect users’ AI needs and expectations? What are your top 3 opportunities for project growth & adoption? What are top 3 barriers to project growth & adoption? What are the top technical development priorities for 2019? How do they align with your business goals? Community health goals? The Linux Foundation Internal Use Only 8/13/18

  35. Examples: Project Goals <Examples> Ecosystem growth as measured by: new use cases, more AI models, more compatible SDKs and languages, increase in Acumos instances, marketplace activity and exchanges, etc. 3 new enterprise users in verticals X and Y will pilot our project. ZZ new contributors from N new organizations. Broaden the application of AI and machine learning to new use cases such as networking & security.
