Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between product marketing and product management?

Product management focuses on what to build and why. Product marketing focuses on how to position it, who to target, and how to drive adoption. PMs own the product; PMMs own the go-to-market strategy. In practice, there's significant overlap, especially in smaller companies.

When should I start thinking about go-to-market?

Start GTM planning early in product development, not after the product is built. Positioning and messaging insights should inform product decisions. Formal launch planning typically begins 6-12 weeks before release, depending on the launch scope.

How do you create effective product positioning?

Good positioning clearly answers: What is it? Who is it for? What problem does it solve? Why is it different from alternatives? Test your positioning with target customers to ensure it resonates and differentiates you meaningfully from competitors.
