3 Pillars of Product Marketing
🔵 Positioning
This is all about crafting your POV on the world.
→ Understanding customers (context, problems, use cases)
→ Understanding markets (trends, shifts, opportunities)
🟢 Packaging
This is all about mapping your product to the market
→ Pricing structure
→ Curating combinations of capabilities and features
→ Delivering the right value (benefits)
🟣 Messaging
This is the bridge between your positioning & packaging to the market
→ Clarity (Are you understood?)
→ Resonance (Are you compelling?)

Positioning and packaging usually get all the focus from founders…
😴 But don’t sleep on messaging.
If no one can understand what you do…
💢 your positioning and packaging won’t matter.
