ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • January 12

Start with my 30/60/90 day plan. I embark on this process and begin looking for where I can dive in for my quick wins. You never know what scenario you are walking into or which project has suddenly been prioritized when you first start. The key is listening for what people are working on, under......Read More

How do you think about your first 30/60/90 day goals when coming in as the Head of Product Marketing in a startup that didn't have product marketing before?

Natalie Louie

Please see my phases of success for a PMM in your first 100 days here . A KEY THING to know at the onset is, does everyone know what a PMM does and what value they bring? Ask all leaders and cross functional partners. Product Marketers are the marketing strategists, the brains of marketing, the......Read More

How have your product marketing teams traditionally worked with your demand generation / growth marketing team?

Natalie Louie

ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • May 5

As a PMM I’ve always had a close relationship with demand gen, from startups to public companies. Here’s what we do together and what we each own separately: Together we discuss themes and ideas but demand gen owns the tactics and PMM owns the strategy. We both own the results. Demand Gen: focu......Read More

Do you approach stakeholder management differently based on the team you're talking to? (Product, Marketing, Sales, Growth, Customer Success). And if so, how?

Natalie Louie

ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • May 5

Yes, I always do. Treat each stakeholder like one of your “personas”. Understand their role, what their pain points are, what their goals are, what words they use and what’s important to them. Do a 1:1 with them, get to know them, their OKRs, interview them and find out how you can help them......Read More

In your role working as Product Manager & Go-To-Market or working with PE/VC/pricing consulting firms on company valuation & market assessment, whats your go-to resource with frameworks & examples to conduct B2B pricing power assessment for a product?

Natalie Louie

ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • April 13

If you want the highest company valuation possible, you need a recurring stream based on a value-based and/or usage-based pricing model. Investors and Wall Street value recurring revenue streams at a much higher multiple than one-time transactional revenue because they are predictable revenue str......Read More

What approach do you take to build internal consensus among stakeholders when you have limited data to prove/disprove an idea?

Natalie Louie

ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • May 5

I mentioned this in a prior question - treat each stakeholder like one of your “personas”. Understand their role, what their pain points are, what their goals are, what words they use and what’s important to them. Do a 1:1 with them, get to know them, their OKRs, interview them and find out how y......Read More

How do you break down responsibilities and KPI's for product launches between demand generation and product marketing?

Natalie Louie

ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • May 5

At two previous companies I worked at (Zuora and Hired) we have OKRs and each group creates their own and works with each other to define theirs. We can also view everyone's OKRs in our Workboard tool. Alignment begins before any project begins. Each quarter we all get better at aligning our OKRs......Read More

Should product marketing report into Product management or Marketing?

Natalie Louie

ICONIQ Capital Product & Content Marketing • May 5

The more technical your product and complex your use cases, i.e. selling to enterprise customers, then PMM can report into Product. This is what we do at Zuora and other companies I’ve worked at. The less technical the product and the less complex your use cases, i.e. selling to SMB/MM customers......Read More
