We will email you Nikhil's answers to these questions after the event in case you can't make it.
What is the most popular trend in product marketing that has helped you succeed?
I'd like to know what most recent way of doing business, dealing with people, developing and innovating ideas has been the most helpful to you and your career in the last 5 years? (i.e Leveraging AI, Collaboration, PMM tools etc.)
What are your favourite brands who have their product marketing right? On similar lines, who are the best PMM leaders in this space you admire?
As a Platform Solutions company, what is the best way to segment and deliver messaging for our product lines individually and as a platform?
IE. Umbrella company with 3 SaaS products underneath, all can be plug and play in same dashboard. We need help defining messaging using terms such as solution, product, tools, features, etc.
How are product and brand marketing similar? Different? Or are they really the same thing?!
How do you build messaging for an audience that has historically used a competitor's product? Is this any different in solution marketing?
What is your advice for honing messaging skills?
How do you test and evaluate messaging of updated value prop in scrappy way?
Our product has slightly "rebranded", and as such, we are relaunching our website with a new value prop and updating relevant collateral. How do we test or get feedback on whether this resonates? How quickly can we assess that this update is effective?
How can smaller companies discover what messaging/narrative really resonates?
How do you think about the difference between messaging and copy?
How do you develop competitive messaging when your product doesn't bring competitive features to market?
What if any changes do you see product marketing facing over the next 2 years. A lot of industries and disciplines have seen disruption with the pandemic, what disruptions do you see facing product marketing?
Where is the best location for product marketing case studies, if any? If not, how do you reccommend an aspiring product marketer to get acquainted with the particular, day-to-day activities of the career besides an internship?
Can you explain the difference yet relatedness between messaging and positioning to me like I’m a 5yr old?
