Your day starts by reviewing fresh market and competitor insights to refine the portfolio narratives for each priority market. Before lunch, you sync with regional Sales to calibrate pricing and packaging for upcoming opportunities, then brief Product Marketing on messaging adjustments. In the afternoon, you co‑create sales enablement assets (playbooks, case studies, demo scripts) and run a short stand‑up with cross‑functional stakeholders to track launch readiness and KPI progress. You close the day by analyzing adoption/funnel data and proposing optimizations to GTM tactics for the next sprint.
