I believe what you're referring to is (or could be) "Engineering as Marketing" - which is to build tools/products as a way to attract new customers.
@justinmares wrote about this in the "Traction" book he co-authored with @yegg.
More on this here: http://platformthinkinglabs.com/engineering-as-marketing-how-startups-transform-marketing/
Sumo by @noahkagan follows this playbook as well with all of their tools.
