It doesn’t matter how great your product is if you can’t get it in front of the right people and convince them to buy it. As someone who’s been the first marketing hire three times, now works fractionally across multiple tech startups, and has helped several of them get acquired, I’ve seen five consistent marketing mistakes that stop companies from growing. This session is about what those mistakes are, what to do instead, and how to identify the one marketing bet that will have the biggest impact on your growth.
Join us at ProductCamp Atlanta 2026 to vote on this session and dozens of others! The attendees will choose the agenda for the day, and can be part of it!
