> I have a sort spot for the folks at Twilio, because they were actually the ones who convinced us to do ads on Read the Docs originally, with a hacked together campaign way back in like 2015

This sounds really interesting! I find it fascinating that Twilio was willing to do such a personalized project with a relatively small company. Would you be willing to share the story?

Specific curiosities:

* Did you reach out to them, or did they reach out to you?

* Who were you working with there? (someone in a business unit, or someone in engineering?)

* Twilio is huge with (I imagine) big reputation risk. Why were they okay with being such early adopters?

* What was the process like working with them through this campaign?
