What tips/suggestions do you have for someone who wants to break into product marketing?
1 Answer
Like any good first meeting, ask yourself some discovery questions:
- What do I enjoy doing the most at work?
- Why do I want to get into product marketing?
- What products do I think are marketed well? Why?
- What products can be marketed better? How would I market it differently?
- Did I enjoy thinking about these discovery questions? If so, try to break into PMM!
