What works for other devs?

[Simon Q]

Hello.

New poster here trying not to feel intimidated, working for a Bristol (UK) based web agency (Hyperlaunch).

Just wanted to get some opinions on best way to get a bit of info to developers for a new service launch ? Video, game, written word, other? "How to" vids seem so uninspiring/tired.

Anyway any opinions / abuse very welcome - much appreciate anyone taking time responding.

What'd be most compelling to me is showing me what pain point the service solves.

Thanks ...makes sense to highlight that aspect of service to devs for sure.

In terms of communicating that message though - any thoughts on what component would be mnost effective in deliveringt the message?

Seeding video tutorial or similar on YouTube ...or maybe forum / community outreach?

Thought about a game too Carrying message) but would have to be really good to get any traction.

Your input much appreciated...

I'd say outreach / SEO / PR type stuff. The issue is that some services may be development cycle specific so timing and intent may be key.
