Suede Community Marketing

Use this Suede community-growth playbook to create genuine member value and measurable business outcomes without manufacturing engagement.

Before You Start

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered.

Understand the situation (ask if not provided):

1. What is the product or brand?: What problem does it solve, who uses it
2. What community platform(s) are in play?: Discord, Slack, Circle, Reddit, Facebook Groups, forum, etc.
3. What stage is the community at?: Pre-launch, 0–100 members, 100–1k, scaling, or established
4. What is the primary community goal?: Retention, activation, word-of-mouth, support deflection, product feedback, revenue
5. Who is the ideal community member?: Role, motivation, what they hope to get from joining

Work with whatever context is available. If key details are missing, make reasonable assumptions and flag them.
