Spent last week with a host of smart, talented product people at Product Marketing Alliance NY and three weird things happened.
The very first person I met might be my sister and/or alternate dimension alter ego. Allie Wilson - loved your talk about capturing attention. Need to schedule that joint tattoo appt soon.
I wasn't surrounded by keyboard clacking in every session. Did y'all know you can attend large speaking events and have people ~gasp~ fully engage?! Kudos Calum Harris for the great programming.
I learned a new language. PMMs & CMOs aren't always using the same dictionary. Came back with a whole new set of vocab that hopefully helps us play a more unifying role with brands. Thanks to Paula Griffin Erin Dorshorst Hannah Connolly Sackett Jeffrey Hanrahan Lauren Nolan Claudia Masseo and more for the helpful dialogue.
Good week, great company, even better running weather. -
And that’s a wrap!✨
Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Product Marketing Summit in New York, hosted by Product Marketing Alliance. It was an event filled with invaluable insights from fellow PMMs.
One takeaway that really stuck with me:
🗣️ “As a PMM, you need to be great at communicating, but also at teaching others how to communicate. It’s a ripple effect!”
This mindset will definitely shape the way I approach Messaging and Sales Enablement moving forward!
A huge thank you to DataSnipper and my amazing team lead, Hande Kahraman, for this opportunity. I loved every second of it! -
I just got back from the Product Marketing Summit in NYC and wow - the experience really lit a fire under me!
Being surrounded by so many smart, driven women was exactly what I needed! After attending bigger conferences like Snowflake, Data & AI Summit, Gartner and Google Cloud, it felt refreshing to be in a room where female talent was so well represented. Their energy and passion were seriously contagious!
The summit definitely reinforced my motivation to become a more data-driven professional product marketer. I picked up tons of practical insights that I can't wait to apply.
I'm feeling super motivated to dive deeper into data and level up my skills. Let it be just one thing for now that I bring from that conference. Going to invest more time in my education because honestly, continuous learning is non-negotiable in our fast-paced industry.
Really looking forward to our first San Diego meetup with Product Marketing Alliance pro members this week! 🏄♀️ -
Another successesful Product Marketing Alliance Summit in the books! Last week was filled with insightful sessions, note-worthy panels, and endless opportunities to network with great people.
Cheers to learning from others and being a plus one to the best MC in town, Ali Hanyaloglu! -
In an increasingly, (and rightfully so) digitally connected work-world, one thing that I most appreciate about work-related conferences is the opportunity to connect in-person. Hearing different perspectives from colleagues and industry peers, finding that your challenges are not unique to you, learning new ways of problem solving, discovering new technology (read AI) tools that increase your efficiency and productivity; you know, all that good stuff, I enjoy and find rewarding.
That was my experience attending the Product Marketing Alliance nyc 🗽summit which held last week.
Kudos to the Product Marketing Alliance team for providing a platform for product marketers to connect, showcase wins and share learnings, strategy and tactics. -
When I mentor my fellow younger marketers, I always advise to start investing in their education and network as soon as possible. The ROI will grow exponentially over time, and you'll never regret making that investment. I'll be adding PMA Summit to my list of recommendations to attend from now on.
From meeting all my PMM mentors and, let’s be frank, the people I not-so-secretly fangirl over here on LinkedIn every time they post hashtag#sorrynotsorry, to gaining gold-quality insights from all the presentations, it was THE event of the year for me, and 2025 has only just begun😂
Do not regret purchasing that ticket and booking that flight. So, everyone, if you're looking at the schedule of events to attend in 2025, it's time to add this one to your calendar.
