3 Reasons Product And Marketing Can Thrive Together Under The Same Leader

By Matt Lowechief product and marketing officer for MasterControl

A company’s success hinges on cultivating a strong relationship between product and marketing. Each team may have its own specific goals, operations and priorities, but both want the same results: a thriving product, satisfied customers and a strong bottom line.
