Product Marketing Newcomer of the Year
We were inundated with nominations this year, with PMMs keen to showcase the remarkable accomplishments of either themselves or others from every corner of the globe.
The Product Marketing Newcomer of the Year award serves as a spotlight for those product marketers who are creating waves of excitement within our industry. It's heartening to see continued support amongst the PMM community, so we wanna highlight the rapid impact made by this talented newcomer who proves that time is no barrier when it comes to making a significant mark.
Now, without further ado, we're thrilled to unveil the winner of the Newcomer of the Year award: Congratulations, Zuri Godfrey, Associate Product Marketing Manager at Google!
Product Launch of the Year
Launching a new product in 2023 is no walk in the park. It takes countless hours of strategizing, testing, iterating, and juggling behind the scenes to accomplish a successful launch.
86.8% of respondents who took part in the State of Product Marketing Report 2023 said that managing product launches is a main responsibility in their role as a PMM – that’s a lot of time, effort, and energy (not to mention noticeable skills)!
So, hats off to the product marketers who knock it out of the park and create launches that really make an impact. But there’s one brand that we want to honor for the blood, sweat, and tears they've invested in their launch, and that brand is Atlassian.
Congrats to Atlassian and the team! Keep disrupting, delighting, and driving business growth.
Positioning & Messaging Maestro of the year
Positioning and messaging. The peanut butter and jelly of product marketing. Get it right, and your product sells itself. Get it wrong, and you've got a sticky situation on your hands.
To really nail it, you've gotta tap into your audience's deepest desires, speak their language, and make your product their fixation.
Most product marketers trip on this tightrope walk. But not our 2023 Positioning & Messaging Maestro of the Year. This PMM has the magic touch when it comes to positioning products in the hearts and minds of customers.
Drum roll, please… the Positioning & Messaging Maestro of 2023 is none other than Alex Virden, Director of Product Marketing at Metadata!
The product marketing world cheers your talents. Thanks for showing us all how it's done!
Product Marketing MVP of the Year
After exploring a lineup of star-studded nominees, we've found our master MVP of the year.
This award commends the PMM who operates with next-level passion. The kind that goes over and above to deliver phenomenal results quarter after quarter. They positively pump up their team and bring impressive energy to every campaign.
The MVP who locked down this year's award with their non-stop motor is… Hope Chauland, Senior Go To Market Manager at Microsoft! Embodying the relentless spirit of today's product marketing MVPs, let's hear it for our MVP champion!
