Inspire your customers with insightful products
Product marketing typically delivers the ammunition that makes up the deliverables for lead generation programmes. The ammunition comprises not just the physical (or virtual) product or service but includes the pricing, promotion, and availability (the marketing mix or 4-P’s).
It focuses on understanding the market and market needs, with an emphasis on understanding the buyer of the company’s products and services. Product marketing is responsible for developing positioning, messaging, competitive differentiation, and enabling the sales and marketing teams to ensure they are aligned and work efficiently to generate and close opportunities. It is strategic marketing at the product or product line level. Product Marketing, as a function, is part of the overall Product Management function, but not to be confused by its management.
Product management looks after the product life cycle (PLC), whilst product marketing ensures that it is fit for the marketplace.
