Project Results
This book proved to be a significant asset for Limelight Networks (now Edgio). Not only was Limelight able to continually fill pipeline through book distribution (many prospects asked specifically for a copy), but the book was carved into multiple smaller content segments and distributed through a variety of channels. Book requests were handled through an online form on the website and fed directly into Salesforce. Once the published title was no longer available, Limelight continued to offer an e-book version which generated more leads and opportunities.
