“On the surface, newsletter sponsorships were a targeted distribution channel to share guides our team worked hard to create. The main goal was to get in front of developers and give them resources that built trust and ideally influenced them to consider Clerk for their build. We knew it helped drive traffic to our site, but directly attributable sign ups were rare.”
