Our work began well before the formal announcement of the AI Initiative. Drupal Developer Days, in April, for example was a focused week of meetings, healthy debate, collaboration and consensus building which laid the foundations for the Initiative.
Launching marketing efforts
Much has already been achieved in raising awareness of Drupal AI. Thanks to the efforts of James Abrahams, Marcus Johansson, Frederik Wouters and many others, there is already a strong body of material in place — including high-quality presentations, conference talks, and resources such as workflows-of-ai.com — all showcasing the capabilities of Drupal AI.
With the announcement of the Drupal AI Initiative, comes support from The Drupal Association, permission to create pages on Drupal.org in prominent locations, agency to scale marketing efforts. Part of the backing offered by the 6 founding companies of the AI initiative is resources to deliver marketing, both time and money. This is already starting to deliver tangible results.
A growing team
In the beginning the team consisted of Frederik Wouters (Dropsolid) and myself (1xINTERNET). Immediately following Drupal Dev Days we started creating content for the new landing pages, working with Dries on the announcement video, collaborating with designers at 1xINTERNET to produce supporting imagery. In parallel staff from all the initiative founding companies were preparing exhibition stands, printed materials and social media in preparation to exhibit at AI Summit London.
Together with colleagues from Drop Solid, Freely Give, amazee.io, 1xINTERNET, the Drupal Association and Acquia, we came together with a shared purpose to represent Drupal AI at this event. It brought together stakeholders from government, the public and cultural sectors, and enterprise, all exploring how AI can be meaningfully integrated into their organisations.
Drupal AI Ask Me Anything
Our aim is to run regular Webinars to help keep the community aware of our progress, educate and raise awareness amongst potential customers and end users of the potential of Drupal AI offers. This month we organised our first webinar, an AMA aimed towards Drupal community members. You can access a recording and read highlights here.
oin our weekly AI Marketing meetings
With the launch announcement completed, we have now established weekly meetings on Monday 17:00 BST to accommodate our growing and global team. We’d love to have you join us. If you would like an invite, please drop us a message on #ai-initiative-marketing Slack, which is our primary collaboration channel.
