“I want to have a seat at the table” “I want to carve out time to work with my PM on what we build, not just launch and outbound” Too often, product marketing is downstream of strategy and what is built. How can PMMs correct this? One tool is narrative design. Product Marketing leader Marcus Andrews shares how he built and utilized strategic narratives at HubSpot and Pendo to influence the product roadmap. In this post he covers: 1️⃣ What is a strategic narrative and why is it so important? 2️⃣ How to develop and implement a strategic narrative 3️⃣ Common mistakes to avoid when developing a strategic product narrative. 4️⃣ How to bring a strategic narrative to life externally. A Big THANK YOU to Marcus for penning this first guest post for Demand! ❤️ https://lnkd.in/ggP8C-HN

The narrative about a new product just as important as the feature set or design. If your whole organization can't tell a compelling, consistent story, the launch will fall flat. Our founder Dave Chace recently shared his insights on driving messaging alignment in Sales Enablement Collective - get his tips for how to develop and reinforce a consistent message across your organization throughout the launch process. #salesenablement #producttraining #marketing #storytelling

🚀 Set a Strong Foundation for Success with a Clear Vision + Mission 🚀 We enjoyed this article from Mike Belsito at the Product Collective. As I read the recent deep dive on Product Vision and Mission, it struck me how vital these two elements are for driving strategic success. Whether you're a product leader or a business owner, setting a bold vision and defining a clear mission is crucial to guiding day-to-day actions and long-term goals. Your Product Vision is your destination—a picture of what your product will become and how it will transform your customers' lives in the future. It’s the North Star that aligns and inspires your team. Meanwhile, your Product Mission is your immediate purpose—the reason you're building the product and how you plan to achieve that future state. Without these foundational elements, teams can easily fall into “feature factory” syndrome or get lost in constant pivots. However, with a solid vision and mission, you’ll foster alignment, boost decision-making, and inspire innovation—all while keeping customer value front and center. At OKR Leader, we believe that setting a vision and mission is the first step toward driving meaningful results through OKRs. As you define your objectives, let your product vision and mission light the way. #ProductManagement #OKRs #Vision #Mission #ProductLeadership #StrategicAlignment #OKRLeader #GoalSetting #BusinessSuccess Feel free to share your thoughts on the importance of a vision and mission in the comments! https://lnkd.in/gZk8faZu

That's why it's often very difficult to recognize new leaders – their ideas go beyond the conventional frameworks we're accustomed to. Keep your mind open. Don't let yesterday's templates define your future. #Leadership, #Innovation, #OpenMind, #FutureThinking, #venturethinking,   https://lnkd.in/eASPGsuu

Let's finally get rid off the "VC alphabet song" and redo the system to become more founder friendly. "The benchmarks set by funding stages are often arbitrary and not necessarily aligned with the actual development needs of individual startups." #vc #venturecapital #founder #fundraising #startups #fundingstages #funding #fundingrounds #pitchbook
