Description of event

NOTE: This is not a live event. This campaign will consist of sending out books with custom GitLab bookmarks with QR code to custom case study and GitLab unicorn sticker. Follow up will consist of drop campaign that includes a discount code for CXO to buy book for their team.

2020.03.18 Update: Goal of the virtual campaign/direct mailer campaign is to identify targeted accounts for a particular SAL and send the Project Unicorn (well renowed book in the industry) to CXO's in those companies. We wanted to create custom GitLab bookmarks with a QR code that would route them to our GitLab Project Unicorn case study.Due to COVID19 and majority of people working remote, we are now looking at purchasing the books and having them hosted in the GitLab Swag Store for the targets to be able to purchase. I am also waiting to hear back if the fulfillment company for our swag store would be able to insert the custom bookmark in each of the book orders.

2020.03.19 Update: We are able to set up a giveaway kit in Printfection to allow the targets to go in and select where they'd like the items shipped. Issue - #1222 (closed)

Target Titles: Vice President, Senior Vice President, CTO, etc. (of Development, or of Product)

Operation Unicorn Issue - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/account-based-marketing/issues/45

Details

We will set up 'giveaway kit' in Printfection to allow the targets to go into the branded site and select where they'd like it shipped.

Inside Printfection, we will issue each target a URL and code. Will map to master spreadsheet and then SAL/SDR will send out email to target with their personal information to access the kit.

Kit includes: book, custom bookmark and GitLab Unicorn sticker
