As a newbie PMM, this was so incredibly helpful! I was experiencing some frustration in my current role, and this helped remind me what I am working on and gave me some ideas for goals to help me grow and improve. Thank you both!

[@jonathancaliguire]

As someone looking to get into PMM as a field of work, this was really insightful and encouraging. Thanks for your help along the way!

[@thetechpmm]

thanks jonathan! glad it was insightful :)

[@getbash]

Great overview of what a PMM does! For anyone looking to apply this to their day-to-day here are the key takeaways: 1. Product marketing is distinct from general marketing in its constant focus on the product's development and positioning. 2. A PMM plays a pivotal role at every stage of the product's lifecycle, from pre-launch research and development to driving growth and managing product maturity. 3. Effective product marketing requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including product development, sales, legal, and PR, to ensure a cohesive and successful go-to-market strategy. 4. Focus on understanding the product deeply and how its features serve the target audience. This will guide your marketing strategies effectively. 5. Use the collateral and positioning developed by PMMs to understand and communicate the product’s unique value proposition clearly to potential customers.
