Frequently asked questions
What tools do product marketing managers use in 2025?
The typical PMM stack: Notion (docs and wiki), Figma or Canva (visuals), Gong or Chorus (call intel), Klue or Crayon (competitive monitoring), Briefly (on-demand competitive briefs), and Jasper or ChatGPT (content writing). Enterprise stacks run $10K–$50K/month; lean stacks can cover the core PMM workflow for under $200/month.
Do I need a dedicated CI platform as a product marketing manager?
At pre-Series A stage: probably not. Briefly covers on-demand competitive briefs for free. At growth stage with 50+ sales reps: a dedicated CI platform (Klue or Crayon) pays for itself through improved win rates. The ROI case requires enough deal volume and a competitive category where CI actually changes outcomes.
What is the best free product marketing tool?
Briefly for competitive briefs, positioning docs, and launch kits (free). Notion for wiki and docs (free tier). Canva for visual assets (free tier). Loom for async video enablement (free for individuals). This combination covers most of the PMM workflow at zero cost.
What's the most underrated PMM tool in 2025?
Briefly — generates a full competitive brief, positioning document, and launch kit from competitor URLs in under 2 minutes, free. Most PMMs haven't tried it because it's newer than the established CI platforms. Worth 10 minutes before committing to a $30K CI contract.
