It's Rich here. Welcome to your monthly dose of product marketing insights - May has been packed full of them...
We launched the landmark Product Marketing Festival, built shiny new features in our membership plans, plus we've started work on the report of all reports - the State of Product Marketing 2021.
Our copywriter Steph is rolling her sleeves up, ready to bring you an unprecedented write-up. But first, she needs you to submit your responses. 😏
Oh, and you might have noticed. PMM Pulse looks a little different this month.
Any strong opinions? We'd love to hear 'em - just hit reply.

How to drive company strategy with product marketing
As marketers, we spend a lot of time driving product launches and building marketing & integrated campaign plans. But without a guiding strategy, we may be running fast but not getting anywhere.
In this article, I’ll discuss how to drive company strategy, by explaining how PMM teams can help set key initiatives, get involved in the build, buy, partner decisions, and leverage pricing and packaging levers to drive growth and profitability.
How are you going to level up the impact of your product marketing efforts this year? Download Crayon’s 2021 Product Marketing Strategy Kit to put together winning strategies for your marketing, product, and sales teams.
This Kit includes the 2021 PMM Planning Guide, a 25+ page guide to effective competitive intelligence, a Product Launch Checklist, and more.
How to price a product and introduce discounts
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: pulling an idea from your mind and popping your product on the shelf isn’t a doddle - far from it.
Having conducted competitor intel, and successfully built a business case, you’ve got the thumbs up from stakeholders.
But before you can sit back and give your team a whopping high-five, it’s time to address perhaps the most important stage of the whole process: deciding on your pricing strategy.
