Reaching 10M Downloads, And The Guerrilla Marketing Tactics We Used To Get There

Screen shot 2012-07-21 at 10.12.30 PMThe day my app(AutoCAD WS)crossed one million downloads on the App Store, the first question that crossed my mind was how did I ever end up doing marketing? I was a techy product manager and never imagined myself in marketing, until my app was in a life or death situation.The startup I co-founded (which was later acquired by Autodesk) developed a CAD B2B app for engineers. After launching our product, we started marketing it by the book - crafting our positioning and working with a PR agency to approach bloggers. This didnt work. We went at it a second and third time - tweaking our positioning and web site once again, adding more product features and writing to more bloggers. Didnt work - again.
