The ideal candidate will have both but that’s often not possible. For me personally, I think the soft skills are far more important.

This is a great question. I have a few rules that we try to live by for our comms: 1. Make it short, sweet, and to the point! 2. You shouldn't expect your sales team to read every word, so make sure to use bold, underline, colors for items that are most important. 3. Build a cadence - ......Read More

What is your superpower product marketing skill in that is a differentiator?
I find that product marketing has become a position that doesn’t require much experience. You can be fairly seasoned and compete with someone that is just out of undergraduate because the discipline is not the same in tech as it might be in consumer goods or retail.

I love the data debate. A couple of my favorite quotes: "If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything" - Ronald Coase. "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses" - maybe Henry Ford I dont think it's an either-or answer. Data is obviousl......Read More

Allocate adequate resources to it — in other words, get someone on board whose job is to create content. Unless there is a person or a team directly in charge of content creation, you’ll find it difficult to scale and run a smooth process. Reasoning for this is: creating content is frequently ......Read More

I'm going to answer your question slightly differently. PMMs can acquire skills as they develop in their careers, that's a given.

While interviewers focus on your response to the hard skills question, they are simultaneously evaluating your soft skills as well. Generally, they are evaluating your EQ and your communication skills, your ability to interpret questions and think critically in real time, and your ability to prov......Read More

How do product marketers make sure they're learning enough varied skills to be a well-rounded professional when scope is an issue?
i.e. working at a large company with minimal scope, focusing on sales enablement but knowing you need experience on the product launch side, other marketing teams covering responsibilities, etc.

This is a great question! I know lots of product marketers who worry that in getting more specialized they’re missing out on the opportunity to get that broad skillset. I reject the idea that you have to change jobs in order to get the experience you want and think there are plenty of ways to get......Read More
