When you're launching a feature to start to unlock a new market, what's the best way to identify your target market segments and ensure steady penetration into that new market?
I'll be doing customer interviews, listening to sales calls, doing sales ride-alongs, interviewing internal experts, and evaluating competitors. It's a new industry we're looking to enter in North America

Entering a new market organically can be incredibly difficult, so the first step is always to check that there is enough opportunity in the new market to warrant the time and resources. From that new market, you'll want to carve out your beachhead market segments. Identifying the beachhead segme......Read More

Please see my previous answer on messaging refreshes. In general, it will depend on the maturity of your product or changes to product functionality, competitor, and industry landscape. You'll want to plan for messaging updates as part of your annual Product Marketing/Marketing planning process ......Read More

You will never regret QA-ing your messaging with customers. Not only will it help you land on great messaging faster, but it will give you conviction as you defend your messaging across the organization. It is different at every company, but at Segment each PMM follows a pretty simple path: ......Read More

Who owns messaging and positioning in a product marketing org?
Specifically in the context of having only~2 product marketers, both of whom are counterparts vs. a team lead and direct report. On that note, if it's such a small team, who is best equipped to lead positioning and messaging (based on skill sets) or should this be a collaborative effort?

With a team of two product marketers, I'd opt for collaboration. Why? Well, product marketing teams are small, but collaboration is how we make 1+1 = 3. Differentiating your roles by function on a small team doesn't make sense, especially for foundational, strategic exercises like positioning and......Read More

Some years ago, I was running a PMM team at Splunk when we introduced a new product that was a persona-driven solution for IT built on top of the core platform - it even featured machine learning capabilities before AIOps was a thing (Gartner was calling it ITOA at the time). To date, we had had ......Read More

It really depends on your release cycles and the nature of how your product will evolve. Ideally you'll want to know enough about your product vision so that positioning and messaging scales with new feature development. Think of them both as a scaffolding in that sense, so that when you're read......Read More

It is so easy to fall into launching with technical jargon when you've been living and breathing it as a PMM! Two ways that I have found helpful in simplifying, and even transforming/replacing techncial jargon are (1) launch customer interviews, listen and use the language they use, and (2) crowd......Read More

AI/ML means a lot of things to a lot of businesses. Some companies have high data maturity where AI/ML tools are a vehicle for data science teams to create proprietary value for the business. Others are fairly low on their data maturity (which is fine!) and they want out-of-the-box AI/ML for fair......Read More

The biggest thing I see when companies develop a product, service or build a brand, is they get stuck on the “what” of the thing. What the product does? What the company does? This thing. And this thing. And this. And that’s great, but the bigger question is why? Savvy consumers/customers look pa......Read More
