Product Marketing / Demand Gen Alignment

Michele Nieberding
Treasure Data Director of Product Marketing5mo
At a high level, I don’t think of Product Marketing and Demand Gen as separate functions that “collaborate.” I think of them as two halves of the same revenue system. Pro...

At its core, a content-mapping exercise is just asking: Do we have the right content, for the right people, at the right time in their buying journey? When PMM and Demand...

My PoV is that most of the barriers stem from misalignment in one of three places: language, fluency, or operationalization. And each one creates a different problem down...

ABM is targeted and in support of the Sales team. Obviously there's more nuance to it, but I think of it as much more mid-funnel exercise. You already know the 20-100 or ...

How has your product marketing team traditionally worked with demand generation / growth marketing?
At our company, demand gen is a much bigger function than product marketing so they drive all of the campaigns with our input, but I came from an organization where we lead the campaign strategy a bit more since we had more numbers. Anyone have a good solid process they use with their demand gen team?

What does your weekly reporting in Lifecycle (post signup) look like?

How do you build a research repository to house all your customer insights, market research, etc.?
Have any of you created a centralized research repository (or something similar) to summarize key customer research and insights, personas, customer interviews, positioning and messaging for different industries or segments, etc.? My team is looking to create something that is easily accessible by many people in our company but also easily editable to add or update information as we continue gathering more insights as time goes along. I really want it to be easily searchable as well, so our product teams and content marketing team can find things for specific insights, features, industries, etc. We use Microsoft so bonus points if you use any Microsoft tools for this, but open to any and all ideas!

Who on your marketing team writes product marketing content, e.g., ads, one-pagers, web pages, etc and who is involved in the approval process?
My company has brand marketing/demand gen copywriters and product marketing managers, but we still go back and forth over who should be responsible for the product marketing content. The process becomes ineffecient with a lot of back and forth to nail the messaging.
Jeff Rezabek
Director of Product Marketing1y
It really depends on the org. In the smaller teams I've worked on, it has been part of my role (the pm) to produce and write all content (ads, one-pagers, web copy, email...

How do you split the PMM function vs general marketing function responsibilities, and how do you better manage this relationship?
Not to create divide or silos, but to be able to handover ownership at a certain stage whilst remaining involved
