Product marketing operates at the intersection of Product, Sales, and Marketing. It works to generate demand and helps in converting that demand to drive, retain, and increase revenue through product/feature adoption.
Product Marketing is the only function in an organization that focuses on and truly owns product/feature usage and adoption.
Here are the first principles of Product Marketing that one should keep in mind:
1. Product Marketers operate in a loop that has 4 elements.
(i) ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐ - Collaborate with Product Managers to research the market and size, understand the need for the product, evaluate it against other products in the market, and identify uniqueness for the ideal customer.
(ii) ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง - Work with the marketing team to generate leads, drive adoption, and build a brand.
(iii) ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง - Assist the sales team to convert the demand into $$$ in by getting new customers, retaining existing ones, and upselling/cross-selling to increase revenue.
(iv) ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ค - Complete the loop by identifying how the product is being used, find improvement opportunities, and improving all the previous three elements.
2. Every idea or task belongs in one or more of these 4 elements.
3. Most fascinating part: Each element has loops within them!
Product Marketing is uniquely placed in an organization, has vast and expansive roles, and gets two-way visibility - from everyone and into everything.
It's a fascinating role and there's never been a better time to take this up as a career.
This, and much more, are covered in the Product Marketing Intensive Program I run with GrowthSchool. Details in the comments.

Been a great start to the product marketing journey!
Plenty of learning and this is just the beginning. Ambarish Essetty โ๏ธ's great session on personal branding during the kickoff call, Siddhartha Kathpalia's insights into what product marketing entails, and a couple of guest mentoring sessions from Stacy Schulist and Kathryn Vargas in Week 1 of this cohort from GrowthSchool. Simply amazing.
FYI, have started this Product Marketing course by Siddhartha and have already started enjoying it!
#productmarketing
Companies that don't listen to customers are like drivers who don't pay attention to the road.
You can learn a lot about the person on the other side of a conversation if you are empathetic.
Thanks Stacy Schulist for sharing some valuable insights about empathy and how to use it for business growth in today's during guest session of PM Cohort with Siddhartha Kathpalia by GrowthSchool .

My only source of motivation to get through the day...
Managing side gigs in #SciComm alongside a full-time PhD doesn't come easy.
Thank you @SahilBloom and @growthschoolio for this motivation ๐๐ฝ

Thanks for the feature, GS team! I wasted lakhs in online courses before joining your LinkedIn and Growth Hacking program
Love your work :)

The provided insights into the PMM function were valuable. The guest speaker sessions effectively highlighted the differences between B2B and B2C roles in this field. The outcome for me was a better understanding of PMM in the tech space, including the tools and metrics used. However, I am still seeking more hands-on experience through projects in this area.

Sibu Sahu
I was able to formulate a Product Marketing Strategy for my Company, ( Wisestep.com ), I am able to set the right expectation from a PMM that we are looking to hire, and got more confidence in industry statistics which wouldn't have been possible to access without this amazing workshop and mind-blowing Mentor!

Jeffrey Boopathy
I recently joined a Saas company as a social media marketer but I used the strategies to be used in product marketing to create systems and processes that helped in the growth of the organization's brand awareness.
This course helped me to understand multiple concepts behind a product that we have been using every single day. I am right now on the journey to build my own product and pursue jobs in MENA regions.
๐๐ Exciting news!
