Content Marketing the Open Source Way: Concrete Lessons from Red Hat’s Community-Building

How Red Hat built a community that averages 800,000 monthly page views

Marketers today need to do more with less in an increasingly cluttered marketing landscape.

  • How can you energize people who already like your product or the things your organization does?
  • Have you ever wanted to build a community of rabid fans?
  • Or what about a thought-leadership platform for your company?

Over the past six years, Jason Hibbets has been the community manager behind Opensource.com, an online publication focused on highlighting the use of open source methodologies in areas outside of technology. He’ll provide a case study of the content marketing and community building effort for the Opensource.com publication, a project sponsored by Red Hat. You’ll go behind the scenes and see the nuts-and-bolts, the tools, the metrics, and the strategy that’s helped this project grow to over 800,000 page views a month.
