It's hard. Real hard. Many PMMs make the mistake of starting with messaging. This is a no-no. Messaging comes last and just puts words behind what was already decided. You have to nail this in sequential order. 1. First comes strategy 2. Then comes positioning 3. And finally comes me......Read More

With Archer, our USP is that all user profiles are selfie-verified and we say that explicitly and directly in our marketing. We tried some cheekier messaging like "Dating that's about face" but ultimately that cleverness just led to confusion. Especially when launching a new product, it's importa......Read More

What Product Marketing (pragmatic diagram) courses/certifications would you recommend for someone new to Product Marketing?
What pragmatic marketing courses would you recommend for a 15-year veteran marketer who is new to Product Marketing? My boss is recommending Pragmatic Institute, but I'm curious what is the most-effective course/certification. I want to be sure that I can actually apply the concepts I learn versus signing up for a course that is entry level and not worth it. It would be great if I could converse with the instructor about my particular work situation so that I can better understand how to apply the concepts.

Foundations, Market, and Launch were good, and I still find myself thumbing through the workbooks every so often. If you have more experience i......Read More

30 days: Balance being an absolute sponge and learning by doing.

In my experience, it varies based on your product portfolio/customer segments... When my company had only 1 product we were separated by function (i.e. pricing/packaging, sales enablement, product launches, market research, etc.), but in other companies we were focused on segment (enterprise ......Read More

It is our job to stay deeply in tune with what customers and prospects need, how our existing solutions meet t......Read More

A lot of companies still don't understand product marketing. I often see companies look for PMMs but also ask for them to be demand gen or content writers or brand marketers - and in some companies, if that's what is needed, that is what you do. But the companies that understand the value of good......Read More
