### Overview/Priorities
- Comments from the BUs about blockers and miscommunications - Reevaluation of our comms strategy: BUs are responsible for DevRel, BD, and technical content. We’re responsible for QC of outgoing content (wordsmiths, video editing, and packaging) and non-technical content. This will be communicated with them and consolidated along with the strategy asap.
- New Mantra: Brand awareness and Learning Communities, which are both measurable by proxy. This means we focus more on performance and growth KPIs and reporting these clearly to C/J.
- With clear success metrics in place + costs and resources used we can finally focus on optimise our efforts and use it as a way to guide conversations about prioritising requests. This includes things like revisiting the creation of swag for each event etc.
