What (new) skills do product marketers need today that they didn’t need 3 years ago?
Alex Gutow
Snowflake Senior Director of Product Marketing • December 22
Over the past few years (and continuing), it's become more important that product marketers have technical depth in the areas they cover. Being able to go deep in your area will make your messaging better and will help you better identify what are the right topics and tactics necessary to land in the market. This will also make you a more valuable partner to PM, and can open doors to helping with betas and influencing roadmap.
You also need to be able to understand data. This ranges from being able to work with data science and analytics teams and clearly communicate what questions you need to answer, to having the ability to dig into data yourself to identify trends and adjust queries.

Thank you for doing this! I have a PMM background from about 5 years ago ( for about 3 years) , then worked in more general marketing roles ( like demand gen) for a couple of years, went to bschool and now I’m in a pricing role - which is not exactly PMM. I want to make the pivot back into PMM . How can I leverage what I am doing currently and what I have done in the past, to take on a messaging, positioning and enablement PMM role ?
