PMM Files #109 - Crawling out of the Wrong Category, and a Page for Each ICP


Read Time: 3.4 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

Supported By: The PMM Jetpack

What's the #1 Challenge for PMMs?

Lack of resources β€” time, budget, team.

The PMM Jetpack delivers real playbooks, templates, and examples to level up your work, no matter what you’re working with.

Example #1 - Speaking to Multiple Personas On Your Homepage

It's not easy speaking to multiple personas on one homepage.

Here's some inspiration from Jasper. Below their homepage hero, they have a section that touches on the value prop and possible use cases for each persona.

Want to dive deeper? Click through to a landing page that's focused on your role!

Bonus points: When I landed on the page, I got served the Product Marketer persona first. Not sure if that was a fluke, but if they personalized the experience for me, that's pretty awesome.

Example #2 - How to Position Against Another Category

Don't you hate it when buyers lump you into the wrong category? 😣 How do you fix it?

This is a great approach from Hellotime, who use this section on their website to educate buyers on the difference between Resource Planning and Project Management.

You immediately see how Resource Planning solves different problems. The question is not "should I choose resource planning over project management?" It’s actually about how they fit together.

Example #3 - Simple Visuals for Complex Software

Tracworx’s penny drop image turns the complexities of asset management software into a clear, simple visual.

You immediately grasp how the product works through a series of visuals highlighting popular use cases.

My favorite part? The animated β€œnotifications” that make it feel like you’re seeing the software in action.

Example #4 - Removing FUD for High Trust Purchases

When you’re selling a high-trust purchase like developer talent, removing FUD is critical.

Lemon.io lays out every step of their developer vetting process as a form of buyer enablement. It helps potential buyers feel confident they’ll get a developer who can actually deliver.

You can see exactly how candidates are selected.

By showing the process, you feel like you're part of it. That transparency builds real trust.

Example #5 - A Page for Each ICP

Folk leaves no doubt about who their product is built for β€” If you’re running a business on WhatsApp, it sounds like the CRM for you.

But it's not just for WhatsApp. It’s the CRM for LinkedIn, Gmail, and Outlook too.

With dedicated integration pages for each platform, Folk can speak directly to businesses that rely on specific platforms for managing relationships.

They can then capitalize on multiple ICPs looking to solve the problem of "I wish I had a better way to manage my relationships on [insert platform]"

Never Start From Scratch Again

Product marketers like Emily use the PMM Jetpack to skip the unnecessary parts of building a PMM function from the ground up.

"The launch playbook is a prime example. I spent HOURS creating one, that didn't quite do what I wanted. One click in The Jetpack β€” boom, done. Simply incredible!"

Stop staring at a blank page. Get every resource you need for your next launch, campaign, messaging project, and more.
