Not clear on this question... do you mean "describe" instead of "define"? The relationship between product marketing and demand gen is symbiotic. And at my organization thankfully the relationships is highly collaborative. It wasn't always this way. When I led product & customer marketing, ......Read More

To put it simply, ABM is a more targeted approach to storytelling and demand generation. Instead of telling 1 or 2 broad stories to large groups of prospects and/or leads, ABM forces the PMM team to narrow in on our top target accounts (both customers and prospects) and identify what story wil......Read More

The biggest key is alignment on priorities and goals. We can't run a campaign for every single feature update or asset, particularly if we have a large portfolio of products. So, we need to know which product(s) are the priority for each quarter, half, or year. And we need to know which goals ar......Read More

I would recommend try to apply the common rule "80% of the business comes from 20% of the customers". We have our customers divided into 3 segments: New-New: Completely new to the organization Existing-New: existing customer but buys new product Existing-buying more: Existing customers buy......Read More

How have your product marketing teams traditionally worked with your demand generation / growth marketing team?
At our company, demand gen is a much bigger function than product marketing so they drive all of the campaigns with our input, but I came from an organization where we lead the campaign strategy a bit more since we had more numbers. Anyone have a good solid process they use with their demand gen team?

Always an interesting question. 1. What's the leadership structure of the marketing team? 2. Is there a director of product marketing 3. and what does the demand gen team expect from the PMM team? To me, those sorts of things dictate the relationship between the two. Also, if a company is......Read More

Product marketers most often come up short in influencing the C-Suite by showing up at the wrong altitude, with the wrong information and the wrong disposition.

Product marketing is so often misunderstood, and a lot of CMO’s didn’t grow up with it so they don’t particularly understand it. Still other CMO’s struggle with the PMM orgs that seem to spend more time on things they can’t see or aren’t held accountable for inside their own marketing org. And, l......Read More
