  3. As a product marketer how do you evaluate if you’re being effective? If you’re in marcomms, product management, sales or the CEO how do you evaluate if the role is being effective and properly supported?

    Is product marketing judged on volume output such as leads, events, webpages or trainings produced? Are you being driven by “optics and politics” and “the way things are done here “or jumping on the latest trends and content tactics du jour.

    How do you determine if your priorities are in the right place? If you are over or understaffed, if there are bottlenecks or organizational…

  5. You already have a marketing strategy that includes creating fresh, relevant content to increase awareness and adoption of your product. But there’s an often overlooked tool you can use to invigorate your existing user base and potentially turn them into evangelists.

    Educational content isn’t exciting. BUT if it’s available when your users need it most, and it’s clear and truly helpful, then you’ll convert them from a passive consumers to vocal advocates of your product. The secret is knowing where, when and with which medium (on your website, via email, in-app alerts, blog posts, tweets, etc.) to deliver messages your…

  7. In this session, I would like to go over the various channels of communication available for product marketing and explore which are the most effective for a marketing mix based on growth and sustainability. Rather than a typical snoozefest presentation, the group will be integral to the success of this session as we crowdsource, explore and debate which areas (SEO, PPC, PR, content, conversion marketing, a/b testing ect.) are needed for successful launches.

  8. In 2007, Litle & Co. was already a market leader in eCommerce credit card transaction processing. Looking ahead Litle management recognized that their core business was becoming commoditized and price levels would be compressed.

    To ensure continued growth, they began a process of shifting their focus from core payment processing to selling value-added services. While value selling may be the holy grail for technology companies, Litle realized it was easier said than done; change can be scary and internal roadblocks needed to be overcome.

    In this session, you will hear about Litle’s successful transition to selling and delivering differentiated value,…

  9. If you’re a product manager or product marketer, sooner or later you will have to create or drive content as part of your organization’s content strategy. This session will explain the five main steps you need to take to create a content strategy that generates leads. They are: 1) identifying your customer, 2) understanding the buyer’s journey, 3) auditing the content you have, 4) identifying new content to create, and 5) generating leads from your content.

  10. The success of agile development methods has had a detrimental effect on product management. The role used to be clear but what is today’s profile for product management success? Agile methods are great but the intense focus on product development has ignored the business and marketing roles of product management. Product management activities extend beyond development to shepherding the product through the entire process from idea to creation to delivery to customers.

    Learn about the four roles of product management and how they can super-charge your team.

  11. We will discuss how MathWorks Product Marketing Managers create and use internal videos to:
    * Communicate strategy across multiple teams
    * Get buy-in on positioning
    * Improvise workflows
    * Highlight usability issues
    * Visualize the product feature
    * Get an early start on marketing materials
    * Create great products and messaging!

    Rather than waiting for your development team to deliver a fully functioning feature for you to promote. We encourage getting your hands dirty early and showing a vision of how customers will learn about and experience your feature or product.

  12. Every product has a story. HubSpot's story starts with founders Dharmesh Shah and Brian Halligan taking on a new kind of marketing initiative and turning it into tangible software for marketers. But that's not where HubSpot's story ends - and it continues every day through the new features and functionality we launch that affects our 10,000 paying customers, countless prospects, and a fleet of sales folks ready to sell, sell, sell. How do we handle it all? We've developed our own guide to successful product launches that we practice every day.

    Come join product marketers Jeff Russo and Maggie Hibma…
