I’m so new to product marketing- was hired as a subject matter expert. I feel like I’m winging it like 85% of the time. Can anyone recommend resources or somewhere I can look to learn more and get up to speed?

Check out the product marketing alliance— they have great resources, frameworks, articles, and a pretty comprehensive certification program.

I initially took Melinda Chung’s PMM Boot Camp which was a cheaper, baseline alternative, but PMA is really the most valuable resource in the field, even across their free materials.

Pragmatic Marketing is also well-regarded, haven’t taken their course though so can’t speak to it.

PMA and Pragmatic Marketing would be my top two recommendations

I love PMA it’s very thorough and provides a lot of great tips. They also have a lot of great podcasts. I’ve also heard Sharebird is great.

LinkedIn learning has some decent crash courses you could look into.

Product Marketing Alliance (PMA) is wonderful. They have fabulous downloadable resources through their membership program. You can also purchase certification courses. I already went through their Core certification and I’ve completed 12 masters certifications, as well. I have a few more to go, then onward to the leadership certified course. I highly recommend this course of action!! 😊

GTM moving back into consulting is a good idea in theory, but it’s like a train wreck happening in slow motion.

Sure feels like they are pushing to stand up a traditional CRE network for product sales inside of consulting … that won’t work in a service business. Some of us have seen this movie before - different theatre.

Watch how this plays out over next 6 months.
