Check out Josephine Wong's thoughts on product marketing strategy
When asked how marketers should approach content creation for short-form videos, Jo shares:
"Marketers need to have a solid understanding of the buyer persona, the product marketing message, and the value proposition they're leading with. Prioritize the most important message to fit into that 15-second window."
She also shares how product marketers should approach creating sales enablement materials:
"The product marketing message should be simple enough that you can explain it to a 3-year-old. If you're pitching to someone unfamiliar with it, they should still understand what you're saying."
And what’s a common misconception about product marketing:
"Not all marketers are product marketers. If they don’t know how to link why someone would buy the software to the actual product features, they don’t truly know what they’re marketing."
