“Their training offered the hands-on, step-by-step approach we needed. It was fun and engaging, and gave us the chance to do the work together as a team.
By the end, our product marketers had a clearer understanding of how to craft compelling product messaging — not just from the standpoint of messaging best practices, but also with some consistency across very different product families. “
