What do students say about the Product Marketing Bootcamp?
“It was amazing how Melinda was able to breakdown complex concepts into bite-size video clips. There was a mix of refreshers, "ah-ha's", and must-download options as part of the Product Marketing Bootcamp, and it's definitely one I am going to recommend that our other PMMs consider taking ... ”
Sophia Fox, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Granular
“... Other classes I've taken have been too high level or too narrow. The Product Marketing Bootcamp was the right mix of practical concepts, presented succinctly and with actionable examples and templates.”
Sophia Fox, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Granular
“I recently moved from a management role in creative services to product marketing. Even though I've been in marketing for over ten years, I found the Product Marketing Bootcamp invaluable in getting me up-to-speed on my new role. The course helped me refine exactly what I should be focusing on at my company to have the greatest impact on the way we market our products. I can't wait to put Melinda's advice and tips into action!”
Carrie Mumford, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Points

Daniel Delviken, Brand & Communications Manager, Softube AB

Practical skills to launch with confidence
Great product marketing drives business growth by defining growth strategies and marketing plans that win customers.
But there are no practical guides on how to actually do product marketing.
There is no training on positioning, launch planning, or how the end-to-end process works. There are no guides to show you how to actually get stuff done.
I remember this when I was looking to transition into product marketing as a career and when I was a new product marketing manager.
I learned by practicing on the job and working it out through trial and error. Over time, I developed a process.
And as I started building and leading marketing teams, I taught them. People who came to me with backgrounds in design, sales, and customer care became marketers.
I enjoyed developing leaders so much that I started teaching, and now I'm bringing this class online to help more future marketing leaders.
So if you want to stop feeling like you’re winging it, and if you want to acquire practical skills and how-to guides so you can become a strategic product marketer and drive business growth, this class is for you.
