Typical tasks for a Product Marketing Manager

Task	How Accoil Analytics Helps
Product Positioning and Messaging Create compelling and clear messaging that resonates with the target audience, ensuring consistency across all marketing channels.	Adapt your content. Adjust your content and outreach based on what's hitting the mark. Watch event data in Accoil to see which features customers fall in love with (not just the ones they say they like). Build powerful profiles. Build customer Profiles based on the in-app activities that deliver the most value. Know at a glance which users and accounts are getting to that “Aha!” moment. Find the Hook. Focus on what draws people in and makes them go “Oooh”. Watch product engagement scores before and after your campaigns to see which ones bring in new sign-ups that engage and convert. Grab, engage, convert. Adjust and experiment with your messaging to see what resonates with your best customers. Use engagement score trends to spot changes in relation to your messaging changes.
Advanced Customer Segmentation Segment customers beyond basic demographics, firmographics, and technographics. Build segments based on how accounts use your product, how big an account they are, and how engaged they are. While you’re at it, quickly uncover big accounts and the power users within them.	Segment your users by trial or paid. Segment based on activation levels, engagement levels, and adoption rate. Targeted campaign triggers. Stop relying on generic time-based interventions. Use account- and user-level product engagement data to guide when campaigns are triggered. Customize to convert. Tailor campaigns to more or less sophisticated accounts and users, guiding them to the features that deliver maximum value and make it more likely that they’ll click Buy Now. Find accounts that need a nudge. Or build a list of accounts that re-subscribe no matter what you do… so you can leave them alone and let them keep paying. Don’t poke the bear! Reach uptapped users. Expand your user base by targeting segments that haven’t discovered your most valuable features yet.
Customer Research and Analysis Go deeper than the funnel. Spot growth opportunities and churn threats. Tailor your marketing efforts to the customer needs and preferences based on how people actually use your products.	Find your biggest fans. Quickly see who loves your product and which account they belong to. Use product engagement insights to start customer conversations. Learn what they value (and what they don't) so you can attract more users just like them. Find your strugglers. You can also see the accounts and users who just aren’t seeing value. Use product usage data to drive personalized engagement. Help more users see the value in your product. Drive adoption and sales. Tweak your tactics. Use what you learn about how users interact with your product to refine your campaigns. Hit the right note at the right time with the right people. The more you know about your best users, the more impact your campaigns will have. Create more content that converts. Create stuff that speaks to what users are actually using and loving. Show off those popular features and case studies to draw more people in.
Report on Marketing ROI Focus your efforts on segments that show genuine interest. Optimize your marketing to ensure a better return on investment that you can report on.	This may be more correlation than causation, but you know that end-to-end attribute is marketing’s White Whale. We’ll keep chasing it, too. But for now, we think you can use campaign launch dates and product engagement changes to find campaigns that work. Watch for the shifts. See how customer engagement changes after a major marketing campaign. Did engagement, activation, or adoption increase? Winning. If not, keep testing and watching the data. Showcase. Highlight underutilized (but oh-so-valuable) features to relevant segments and see how product engagement changes within that segment.
New User Activation to Boost Sales Stop guessing and just know what hooks new users and keeps them engaged. Understanding activation helps tailor messaging and campaigns to highlight key features. Target prospects who are most likely to find value in your product.	Email nudges at the right time, not some predetermined time. Use your account- and user- level activation scores to spot users who are just a step away from that activation threshold. Craft catchy, personalized messages to nudge them towards those key actions when they’re close, not just “After 7 days”. Convert more trial users to paying customers. Slice and dice your user data to figure out who needs an extra push. Tailor your campaigns to get them using your high-value features and get more customers over that finish line.
Reduce Churn Use product signals to find customers who might churn. And then do something about it. Enhances Marketing efforts by segmenting users for targeted campaigns, reactivating dormant users, spotlighting key features, and tackling churn with tailored messaging	Pinpoint Launch campaigns. Create a customer segment based on events and activity that indicates a higher likelihood to churn. Use that segment to trigger timely campaigns to re-engage at-risk customers. Stay in front of churn. Get ahead of churn by using activation and adoption scores to increase the number of accounts and users getting value from your product. Create a segment of customers who you need to educate and nurture until they see the value.
Align Marketing Strategies Across Teams Deliver high-impact marketing strategies for the coming quarter or year. Use product usage analytics to make more informed decisions about growth targets and campaigns.	Use product data to inform your decisions. Create customer Profiles that track how customers engage with the most valuable parts of your products. Armed with real product usage data, determine which growth levers are the best to pull in the next period. Will expansion campaigns have a bigger impact?
