Hello! I was wondering if someone can explain the difference between PM vs. PMM, and tips for non-PM/PMMs in making a transition to the industry. Are there preliminary skills I should acquire before applying? Any info on day to day and salary will be helpful! Thank you :)

WTF is PMM?

PM - person in charge creating the product. Example: PM makes a new cereal for brand A.

PMM - person in charge the go to market plan for that product. Example, PMM figures out how to get cereal into the market and for who, shaping the image and messaging.

For a non-PM/PMM, get yourself exposure being a part of the PM team. Learn the product inside and out, that will lend yourself to becoming a PMM if you like that side of the business more.

Salary widely differs - best to identify which industry you want to get into and then research there.

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative?
