Across most teams today, AI use is ad hoc. Everyone has their own “prompt stash” saved in a notes app or Notion doc. Some of those prompts work brilliantly; others don’t. The result? Inconsistent messaging quality, variable efficiency, and missed opportunities to learn from one another.

It’s time for product marketing leaders to bring structure to that experimentation—by standardizing how AI supports GTM work and by upskilling teams on how to think and prompt like strategists.

Learn why aligning product marketing and growth marketing unlocks faster adoption, stronger retention, and revenue growth—and why treating them as one role risks missed opportunities.

The role of product marketing runs the constant risk of being seen as tactical. The function may be equated to doing messaging, or managing the product launch process, or even doing content marketing. However, many organizations have elevated the role of product marketing to be much more strategic. It’s no longer (only) about building a new webpage, battlecard or one-pager; it’s about how to drive business growth. This is where product marketing aligns with and becomes one with business strategy.

Discover the difference between product marketing agencies and consultancies—why embedded consulting drives lasting impact in the AI era.

Product marketing teams are under pressure. Headcount is shrinking. Expectations are growing. And AI is no longer a novelty, it's a necessity. We interviewed and surveyed 40 product marketing leaders across a diverse set of companies. The data reveals a discipline in flux.

Customer interviews are one of the most powerful tools in a product marketer’s arsenal, but only if your product marketers know how to extract usable insights. Too often, interviews become a file of notes instead of a source of strategic direction.

Every day, product marketers work tirelessly to drive strategy and alignment – yet somehow, they often struggle to make their impact stick. In most cases, PMM teams don’t struggle because they lack talent or execution. Instead, they struggle because of organizational misalignment.
