In 2018, we had just over 100 employees, and were looking to recruit more tech talent. I came up with this idea for a billboard, which we put up along one of the main highways in San Francisco. Now, we have a world-class marketing team that handles these types of campaigns (they took over Times Square in NYC for April Fools last week). But I'm still pretty proud of this idea.

@severinhacker It stroke a chord in the hearts of CMU alums in SF, which is like 200000 people.
I absolutely love this. It cuts straight to the paint. Most people working at a big company are not so passionate about the big company's goals and mission. They want a house. They want stability. They want the reputation of working in tech. Sell them that and they'll work at your company.
@severinhacker If you change out 'Move to Pittsburgh' with 'Work from Home', we'll have something to talk about.
