WHY EVERYONE'S FIGHTING ABOUT WHERE PRODUCT MARKETING BELONGS

Treating them as interchangeable creates confusion and burnout, particularly in startups. The key is recognizing their distinct roles to improve collaboration, avoid mixed messaging, and scale effectively. Both functions are crucial and deserve their own seat at the table.
