Partnership Structure
Our partnership program has two tiers, Emerging and Strategic, each tailored to promote your business effectively. We emphasize co-branding and offer Marketing Development Funds (MDF) for activities like digital marketing, field events, and sales kick-offs, available to all program members.
Strategic
Strategic Partners have access to an emerging part, but at a higher cadence with more exclusive opportunities. Making the most of our collaborative ethos, we will work hand-in-hand monthly with your business leaders in marketing and sales to figure out the best GTM approaches. In addition to the joint marketing campaigns, our Strategic Partners will have the first opportunity to work alongside us at any of our regional flagship events, will be prominently featured with a dedicated landing page on our site, and a space in our Atlantic Data Security CyberHub.
