PMM Files #72 - Bad Guy AI, Electrifying Showdowns, and The Hero Built for PMMs


Read Time: 3.3 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

​

Our next cohort for Ready For Launch starts soon!

This 4-week cohort-based course will help you master the art of product launches β€” from research and strategy, to execution and measurement.

Join me and my pals Andy McCotter-Bicknell and Tamara Grominsky as we share the tools, processes, and frameworks we've used to run dozens of successful product launches at companies like ClickUp, Unbounce, Klue, Kajabi, Chili Piper, and more.

​→ Enroll now β€” next cohort starts August 29​

​

Example #1 - Don’t Get Robbed By Bad Guy AI

The latest ad campaign for Salesforce AI focuses on one thing. Data security.

They know large enterprises are weary of data breaches and mistakingly sharing customer data, so they zero in on that FUD.

It’s a clever series starring Matthew McConaughey that paints the current AI landscape as the wild west, where bad guys are constantly trying to steal your customer data.

Luckily, Salesforce AI never steals or shares your customer data.

Example #2 - Tell a Story With Interactive Demos

Great demos are focused on use cases. They show buyers what it’s like using your product to accomplish a specific objective.

Interactive demos are no different, which is why this example from SmartPass is so great.

They put you in the shoes of three different personas β€” Students, Teachers, and Admins β€” to give you a complete sense of how their platform works.

Example #3 - The Electrifying Power Showdown

There’s a lot to love about this comparison page from Jackery. But my favorite part is that their differentiation doesn’t require a lot of words to communicate.

Instead, they use simple pictures to convey concepts like Green vs Pollution, Quiet vs Noisy, Portable vs Heavy, Safe vs Unsafe, Affordable vs Costly, and Simple vs Complicated.

Example #4 - The Award For Most Meta Hero Goes to…

Anyword nailed this hero. Not only by calling attention to their own messaging, but also showing how their product works in the process.

97% Predicted Performance Score β€” Sweet!

Example #5 - A Dazzling Platform Page

Can you sum up your platform in just three words? Dazz can.

I love how they’ve structured this platform section of their homepage. Each text block starts with a single word that anchors the value.

Put all the blocks together, and you get a simple, clear story. Discover. Reduce. Fix.
