Should You Hire a PMM or a Product Marketing Agency?
Not every company needs a full-time PMM. Some should hire an external agency instead. An agency gives you expertise, objectivity, and ability to turn it off. A full-time PMM gives you continuity, deep company knowledge, and strategic involvement. How do you decide which is right for you? It depends on your stage, budget, the problem you're solving, and whether you have GTM problems that are ongoing or one-off.
