What is product marketing?
Product marketing is the process of bringing a product to market. This includes deciding the product’s positioning and messaging, launching the product, and ensuring salespeople and customers understand it. Product marketing aims to drive the demand and usage of the product.

Branding vs product marketing
Branding is a marketing term that refers to a company’s efforts to build and maintain an image or brand identity. Product marketing occurs when a company delivers marketing messages and campaigns to promote a particular product. In general, branding is broader and has a long-term emphasis, while marketing for a given product often has a shorter-term purpose.
No matter the job, our not-negotiable requirements are as follows:
– You have a high IQ: we perform IQ tests and only admit a candidate with a demonstrably high IQ. If this is a concern for you, we suggest you give this one a miss.
– You communicate well: while we don’t expect you to be a novelist, we expect that you communicate intelligently and intelligibly. Poor English isn’t a good sign in our modern times!
– You’re a good person: If you have a propensity for being nasty, if you have a hard time getting along with others or if you detest good people who do good things, please move on FAST.
All roles are full-time and based at our Cape Town offices. Please click APPLY below and follow the steps.
