Want to master product marketing? Gain insights from these speakers at PDC’21

You’ve created a top-notch product. Now, how do you successfully bring it to market? How do you bridge the gap between your product and your target customers?

In today’s saturated and competitive tech industry, what separates an impactful product from those that fade into the background is often product marketing.

Every product needs a strong growth strategy to help it achieve its maximum potential. Sitting at the crossroads of product, sales, marketing, and customer experience, product marketing involves a strong understanding of and responding to customer needs.

In other words, marketers play an extremely important role in growing and retaining a strong user base in order for a business to achieve sustainable outcomes.

Read on for a sneak preview of the speakers who will be sharing their trade secrets in product marketing!

James Frankel, strategy and analysis at Canva

If you’re in the SaaS industry, you know that product activation rate is one of the most important metrics to analyze and optimize. Calculated as a percentage of a product’s users that perform an intended action, it indicates your users’ perception of your product’s value and how likely they will convert to a paying customer.

On April 8, James Frankel, who is in charge of strategy and analysis at Canva, will be giving a master class on how to create value for your customers through calculating, analyzing, and optimizing the product activation rate. Join his session to discover how Canva compels users to stick around and experience the company’s product values to their fullest.

James has been leading product, data, and growth at some of Australia’s largest startups since he was 20 years old. Formerly the head of mobile at Freelancer.com, James now works at Canva where he plays a key role in building user growth and retention.

Valerie has spent the past 17 years launching and scaling products and tech companies, including directly building and leading teams in 19 countries.
