Partner Resource Center
CENTRALIZING INFORMATION & EMPOWERING USERS
I created and managed Heretik's Partner Resource Center by integrating Airtable into our company website (Wordpress). This centralized all of our external resources available to our partners and users – including our release notes, on-demand demos, use case packages, videos and tutorials, our help desk, technical documentation, marketing assets, our blog (Fine Print), and eventually more information about the acquisition of Heretik by Relativity. This resource center not only significantly increased our feature adoption rates, but empowered our users to become more independent and educated on our contract review solution. This announcement is a great starting point for navigating the center, otherwise feel free to jump right into it by clicking the button below!
Playing With Fire Tutorials
INCREASING ADOPTION & STREAMLINING USER TRAININGS
I worked with product management and customer success to identify demo and/or user training redundancies that we could turn into a video tutorial series we called 'Playing With Fire'. These tutorial videos created significant internal and external efficiencies by drastically increasing feature usage, reducing the number of help desk tickets, and ultimately lead to more tailored and meaningful sales demos.
Release Campaigns & Notes
SOFTWARE RELEASE MARKETING MANAGEMENT
I branded Heretik's software release notes with famous heretics in history. At the end of each completed software release campaign, I would include a poll for users to vote on the name of the next release. With each software release ship, I would send collectable swag with the artwork I made to our top users. It grew into a really fun way to engage with customers and for them to build credibility within the Relativity ecosystem.

On-Demand Demos & Use Case Packages
PRODUCT MARKETING CONTENT CREATION & SALES ENABLEMENT
Heretik's contract review application is a diverse tool that is used across a variety of practices of law. To help narrow demo and sales requests, I created on-demand demo videos that highlighted the most valuable and relevant features while walking viewers through a potential workflow scenario. For law firms and service providers interested in expanding their practices, I offered use case packages that included a number of resources to get started on a new type of contract review project. I also was able to start monetizing these packages by offering sponsorships of them and allowing firms to put their own branding on them. Check out the full packages below or watch the demo playlist here.
