Marketing in technical domains often relies on guesswork about what resonates with engineers and ops teams.
The situation this course is for
Even with strong product knowledge, marketers struggle to frame messages that align with how technical buyers think, prioritize, and evaluate tools. This leads to generic positioning, misaligned campaigns, and messages that don’t penetrate developer workflows.
Who this is for
A marketing professional working in a technical software environment, contributing to messaging, campaigns, or product marketing, who wants to move beyond surface-level content to command the underlying structure of technical buyer engagement.
Who this is not for
This is not for generalist marketers focused on B2C or non-technical audiences, or anyone looking for broad branding principles without technical depth.
What you walk away with
- Map developer decision-maker mental models to campaign architecture
- Structure product narratives around technical evaluation workflows
- Segment technical audiences by implementation role and pain point
- Translate product features into system-level value propositions
- Build messaging hierarchies that align with engineering prioritization
