I’m of the mindset that B2B and B2C are more similar than different. I’ve found my experience in B2B especially, in demand gen, has ......Read More

PMM role definitions and skills do vary significantly across companies (and even teams within the same company!) but I see this as an opportunity.  The main skills are still foundational across all roles:  1.
