Is there a difference between product marketing a full system vs marketing individual products? (in terms of GTM strategy, segmentation, positioning and messaging, etc.)
Many tech companies start with building a solution, which then becomes their primary 'product', and over time they add more features, making their offering more like a system of modules at this point. From a Product Marketing point of view, are there factors that we (Product Marketers) should be aware of when we're marketing that full system (vs marketing individual products)? For example, do we plan for them differently? Should we even get involved in driving the split of that system into individual product offerings instead (so targeting can be better focused)? Thank you!

Concisely answer the question in the first few sentences of your answer.
Expand on your answer by providing examples, your step by step process, or explaining the "why" behind your answer. Our audience finds these answers to be most helpful. (This is why we require answers to have at least 300 characters).
Our audience (and Google) prefer answers that have lists because it makes content more readable / scannable, so add a list when appropriate.
AI generated content will get taken down as this does not add value to our product marketing community.
