## How do you reach JavaScript developers?

Developers are the audience that taught the industry to block ads. The way in is not a louder interruption; it is the reading they chose, in the place they open every day. That is why daily.dev Ads exists: to help brands earn a place in that reading, week after week.

1. **Runtimes and bundlers are judged in milliseconds.** Cold start, build time and bundle size are the numbers JavaScript developers compare. Publish yours on your company page with the setup behind them, and update them with every release.
2. **Show the bug your tool prevents.** JavaScript developers respond to the mistake a tool catches before production, shown as a diff rather than described as safety. Put the code in the post.
3. **Frontend and Node.js readers want different stories.** #react and #nextjs readers evaluate UI and hosting; #nodejs readers evaluate APIs and runtimes. Publish for each, and the weekly report shows which posts each group reads.
4. **Earn the share to the whole team.** JavaScript tools are often adopted team-wide after one developer shares them. Write the post that developer will want to send to the team.

What that means for your message (takeaways):

- **Runtimes and bundlers:** Publish cold start and build time in milliseconds, with the setup you measured on
- **TypeScript everywhere:** Show end-to-end types through the error they prevent, as a diff
- **Server components and the edge:** Draw where the code runs instead of describing it

### Frequently asked questions

**Can I target TypeScript developers separately from JavaScript?**

Yes. #typescript is its own tag, so your posts can reach only developers who read it, or #typescript with #react, #nodejs or #nextjs, by seniority and region. TypeScript developers also have their own page in this guide.

**How many JavaScript developers can I reach on daily.dev?**

daily.dev reaches millions of developers, and JavaScript developers on it read about frameworks, runtimes, bundlers and Node.js. We do not publish audience sizes per segment; tell us the regions and seniority you need and your plan proposal comes back with the reach it buys. 75% of active developers across the network are mid-level or senior.

**How would a daily.dev plan build our brand with JavaScript developers?**

Your verified company page comes first: releases, changelogs and engineering posts with the code in them. Your plan puts those posts in the feed of developers who read #javascript, #nodejs and #react, and in the Web Development newsletter for a release. Lead with a guide developers search for later.

**Can we build a following of JavaScript developers on daily.dev?**

Yes. Every plan includes a verified company page that developers follow. What you publish there (releases, tutorials, engineering posts) reaches your followers, and your plan puts it in the feed of JavaScript developers who read #javascript, #typescript, #nodejs. The following stays yours between campaigns.

**Can we use daily.dev for employer brand with JavaScript developers?**

Yes. Engineering stories, culture and open-source work published on your company page reach JavaScript developers where they already read, which is what makes an employer brand stick. To hire them directly, recruiter.daily.dev matches roles to developers who opt in.
