Every product marketer knows the feeling of walking into a meeting, bracing to prove your worth because most people do not really understand what product marketing actually does. Today, we are talking about how to demonstrate product marketing value in a way that is simple, credible, and impossible to misunderstand. Julien Sauvage, CMO at Cordial and former PMM leader at Salesforce, Gong, and Clari, joins us to share his expertise.

You're a product marketer trying to level up your career, but every time you open LinkedIn, it feels like everyone else has the perfect resume, the perfect job, and the perfect story. Meanwhile, you're tweaking resume bullet points at midnight and second-guessing every single word. On top of that, you feel stressed at work and you're not sure how to get help. Today, Yi Lin's tackling the real PMM conundrums that keep you stuck, including how to transform your resume from boring task list into compelling career story, plus we're sizing up the messaging strategies of giants like Gong and Outreach to uncover what actually makes positioning work.

You're leading a product marketing initiative you genuinely believe in, but every direction you turn, someone else is fighting for the same limited resources, the same stakeholder attention, and the same tiny sliver of executive patience. That's the reality for PMMs inside big organisations. Today, John McKiernan joins me to share exactly how he's mastered the art of internal buy-in using frameworks that simplify complexity, narratives that create emotional connection, and experimentation that builds credibility when everyone's fighting for the same limited resources.

Here's the brutal reality most PMMs face: you've built something genuinely valuable that solves multiple problems across different use cases, but explaining it without confusing everyone or sounding generic feels impossible. That's exactly why I brought in two experts, Jonathan Pipek and Craig Brown, who've cracked this code across dozens of companies. Together, they're walking us through platform storytelling that actually works, revealing how to expand your narrative without losing what made your original story compelling.

Navigating stakeholder relationships during massive change feels like solving a puzzle while someone keeps hiding the pieces. You're trying to align sales, customer success, leadership, and customers around a new narrative, but everyone's amygdala is firing warning signals that scream "stick with what we know!" That's the reality Anand Patel faced at Goldcast when they decided to shift from being "just a webinar tool" to owning the full video platform story.

Launching into a new ideal customer profile is one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking challenges in product marketing. Today, Natalie's walking us through her step-by-step playbook for navigating uncharted ICP territory with the kind of strategic precision that separates successful launches from expensive experiments.

If there's one phrase you hear on repeat in product marketing, it's customer obsession. We all want to be the voice of the customer inside our companies, but here's where most PMMs fall short: workload. We carry so much ownership already that carving out time for true customer insight often feels impossible. Where do you even start? How do you make it repeatable? And how do you scale an effort like that?

PMMs possess a powerful blend of strategy, insight, and impact, yet we're often the best-kept secret in our own organizations. Today, I'm sharing insights from my conversation with Hattie, PMM founder of productmarketers.com, on how to make your contributions impossible to ignore. Productmarketers.com is now one of the fastest-growing hubs for PMM jobs, insights, and community.

Today's story centers on a product you've likely encountered: Ember's temperature-controlled smart mugs, those sleek beauties gracing Starbucks counters and Williams Sonoma shelves. But here's what makes this case study fascinating: Ember didn't stay content as a coffee mug company. They made a bold leap into an entirely different category, chasing a new audience with a completely different product.
