PMM Files #173 - Use an Anchor to Introduce the New, Making the "Why Now" Undeniable and Talk to an Engineer, Not a Salesperson
Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.
Let's get to it...

Join the next Foundry cohort
The PMM Foundry is a group coaching program for founding and solo PMMs. Each 12-week cohort gives you expert guidance, peer support, and proven frameworks to help you build your function with confidence.
SandboxAQ introduces a new category, LQMs, by anchoring on an existing one, LLMs. The homepage frames the differences clearly:
LLMs and LQMs are complementary. LLMs are cost-competitive tools that save money by automating tasks. LQMs are value creation engines, built for high-stakes, high-precision problems like drug discovery and battery chemistry.
Every explanation of an LQM comes back to what an LLM is not.
If you have a big customer education effort on your hands, short circuit it by anchoring on something already understood.
The Coaching Program for Building Your PMM Function and Career
The PMM Foundry is a group coaching program for founding and solo PMMs.
Those of you doing it on your own, without a mentor, a peer group, or indication that you're βdoing things right.β
Itβs not another course, or a series of packed webinars.
This is an intimate, 12-week cohort where you and 5-7 other PMMs will go deep on building your product marketing function, establishing core frameworks and processes, and handling the challenges that come with it.
After 12 weeks, youβll leave with a better understanding of the product marketing function, plus templates and frameworks youβll feel confident using.
More importantly, youβll have a safe space to get feedback, workshop ideas, validate your thinking, and connect with other like-minded PMMs in the same situation as you.
The next cohort kicks off the week of September 7th. Itβs intentionally kept to a small number of members (5-8), so apply now to secure your spot.
Three articles, posts, or tools you should add to your swipe file.
