We will highlight the business areas/units that are/have been driving its growth and mergers and acquisitions (if any), and 4) provide marketing insights about CrowdStrike by providing details about its marketing efforts and channels used, competitive advantage, value proposition, brand positioning and messaging. We will also provide at least 3 creative examples of its marketing efforts.
