Radix Year in Review: Marketing Campaigns from 2021
At Radix, we pride ourselves on reaching new customer segments through new and unique marketing campaigns, and 2021 was no exception! From drawing attention to computer science education (or the lack thereof) in marginalized communities to offering free entrepreneurial education for ideapreneurs and much more, our brands kept raising the bar to raise awareness and adoption of our nTLDs. Here’s a detailed look at each campaign, and all that was achieved.
Start in Tech by .Tech DomainsThe year of campaigns kicked off strong with .Tech Domains championing computer science education for all. The campaign sought to increase access to computer science for young women and students from marginalized communities. Supported by our partners GoDaddy Pro, Namecheap, and Domain.com among others, it raised awareness about equal access to computer science in schools. The campaign promised to donate 100% of sales proceeds for its duration to Code.org, an organization with a vision to see that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K-12 education. By the close of the campaign, a grand total of $62,000 was donated to the cause. As part of the campaign, webinars created in association with GoDaddy Pro & Major League Hacking (MLH) to increase awareness garnered over 45,000 attendees.
Pitch.tech by .Tech DomainsAnother campaign from .Tech Domains came in the form of Pitch.Tech, in association with Startup Grind.The contest invited idea-stage entrepreneurs to win $10,000 in equity-free funding and over $100,000 in startup benefits. The contest received over 150 entries and 7,000+ votes. With a focus on raising awareness for .Tech Domains, and thereby its adoption, the campaign hit all the sweet spots as impressions on Twitter soared over 100K during the campaign.
