There are 3 main areas where I've seen product marketing get involved in brand strategy: 1) Brand category definition: (see my other answer on how PMM & Brand would collaborate on category creation/evaluation) 2) Brand/product architecture: When you have a portfolio of offerings and multipl......Read More
