Product marketing can be very complicated. We do a lot. Does this long list of tasks look familiar to you?
- Building buyer personas
- Taking charge of product launches
- Running campaigns
- Doing competitive intelligence
- Handling all the messaging
- Enabling the sales team
- Running ROI analyses
- Managing pricing
