This episode is one that I’ve been pretty excited to talk about. Having 10 years of marketing design experience and then switching to product design - I have a unique perspective (and empathy) for each of those teams. Fortunately I’ve worked on some incredible teams that had good relations with each other, so this episode I share some things that marketing and product teams out there should know about one another, as well as some tips to work better together.
