I came from a background in brand and so my natural instincts served me most well on the outbound side of product marketing.

How do you as a product marketer create brand messaging that appeals to three highly distinct segments?
My company’s product (we’re a marketplace) serves three distinct segments with very different motivations. I’m struggling to create brand messaging that speaks to all three. Any advice on how to approach? Or is this a matter of needing to choose one segment to focus on?

I think about this one a lot...First off, it’s important to callout that there is no perfect org structure :) In general, you have to identify what you’re optimizing towards and what structure will give you the highest chance to get there.

In general, I don't think you can determine that a platform approach makes sense or begin developing platform positioning and messaging until you know more about your product(s) than just capabilities.
