Welcome to Product Marketing Therapy
A Letter from The Editors
Our careers started on very different paths– Sales for Ben, Marketing for Maggie. When we made the switch to product marketing, what helped was connecting with other PMMs. In our case, Ben’s message to a stranger (Maggie) on LinkedIn has become a great friendship.
But many people don’t have a friend in product marketing. Someone to vent to and get advice from. Someone who understands the unique challenges of this highly demanding role.
The spotlight often shines on how you can be a better PMM and perfect your skillset, not the actual things we struggle with daily. Today, we are taking the biggest challenges product marketers face out of the shadows: We're excited to introduce Product Marketing Therapy, a community content project.
Product Marketing Therapy is not about product launches or go-to-market strategies– it's about the people behind these efforts. From layoffs to complicated team dynamics, we’re building a space for honest exploration, helping you feel better at work and develop a healthier relationship with your role.
Through a monthly newsletter with personal narratives from product marketers like you, Product Marketing Therapy is a place to share stories and connect with peers. Each edition will also include an advice column where you can submit anonymous questions and receive guidance from fellow product marketers. Our mission is to help you:
Feel Better at Work. Gain new perspectives and learn from your peers' collective wisdom.
Share Your Truth. Anonymously voice your thoughts and questions in a supportive environment.
Build Your Support System: Connect authentically with product marketers who understand our role's unique stresses.
Product Marketing Therapy is more than a newsletter; it's a community, a conversation, and a chance to change how we talk about and tackle the challenges of our profession.
Join us.
