Free marketing advice for @pagerduty in this thread...
We know and love you as the company that helps defeat humanity's only natural predator: sleep.
Now, you're growing (and doing it well!) into the Incident Response space. Which brings me to my marketing proposal as applies to conference swag.
Go online and find the absolute cheapest USB battery packs that someone will slap your logo onto and give them out at conferences.
There's absolutely no better way to say "incident response" than "this dangerous piece of crap that you plug your phone into has a failure mode that results in a mid-sized fire."
After all, the key to incident response is preparedness. You want your customers to be well prepared to have to put out an actual fire at a moment's notice.
That said, if you aren't @pagerduty and you're giving out these battery packs, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP IT IMMEDIATELY!
People plug their $1500 phones into them! If it blows one up that's the exact opposite of the press you actually want!

In conclusion, USB battery packs as swag has two outcomes depending upon who you are.
@pagerduty: Brilliant campaign that drives home the value of what your company does.
Everyone else: That's some weapons-grade stupid you're sporting there.
