"Our brand and product awareness really grew while working with the Microsoft Go-To-Market Services team. We had a marked increase in developers interested in our product, so it was a very interesting and profitable activity for us."

Massimo Caroli, CTO and Co-Founder, myAppFree

Microsoft helped elevate brand and app awareness of myAppFree and another application, myAppRank, through global marketing/PR engines. Microsoft made myAppRank its App of the Day tweet from its @Azure handle. Traffic to the tweeted link increased by more than 1,000% that day, and it earned myAppFree 100 new Twitter followers and a 30% download increase in two days. The Microsoft tweet also helped drive a rise in ad revenue of more than 40% for myAppFree for the next four days. The Go-To-Market Services team also helped facilitate a three-week Facebook campaign that reached over 750,000 people and drove over 20,000 clicks to the landing page. In addition, the team ran a blog post promoting myAppFree and myAppRank.
