Have you innovated faster than you’ve communicated to the market?

In the world of high growth technology companies, you are a standout. Your product team is hard at work writing use cases and requirements for the solution of the future. Your best-in-class development team is building a solution that will shake up the market, but your innovations are nowhere to be found in your current packaging and positioning materials.

The best product deserves to succeed, but occasionally it doesn’t. If your business has the superior product but your competitor’s product owns a larger share of the market, you might have a product marketing problem.
