Message-market fit: Using research to validate breakthrough narratives
Great products don’t win on features—they win on narratives that resonate. But breakthrough messaging isn’t intuition-driven; it’s research-validated. This keynote unpacks how PMMs use qualitative interviews, quant testing, behavioral data, competitive gaps, and positioning experiments to craft and validate messages that truly land with buyers. We’ll explore how to identify emotional and functional triggers, how to test narratives quickly without slowing GTM, and how to refine messaging until it achieves real message-market fit. Attendees leave with a practical message-testing playbook, examples of high-performing validation frameworks, and a clear process for turning insights into narratives that convert across campaigns, product launches, and sales motions.
