Loved explains the foundational principles of best-in-class product marketing for product teams, marketers, founders, and any leader with a product and a vision. The third book in the bestselling series including Inspired and Empowered, from Silicon Valley Product Group, Loved distills decades of lessons gleaned from working with hundreds of companies to show you: the centrality of product marketing to any product's success; the key skills and actions required to do it well; the four foundational principles of product marketing and how to implement them; how to hire, lead, and organize product marketing; how product marketers optimize crucial collaboration with other functions; and tools and agile marketing practices that help simplify and elevate product marketing.

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 45 minutes

Release date: April 7, 2022

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. An intimate look at the legendary British designer behind Apple's most iconic products - including the Apple Watch With the death of Steve Jobs in 2011, JONY IVE has become the most important person at Apple. Some would argue he always was. Steve Jobs discovered Ive in 1997, when he found the scruffy British designer toiling away in a studio surrounded by hundreds of sketches and prototypes. Jobs instantly realised he had found a talent who could reverse Apple's decline, and become his 'spiritual partner'. Their collaboration produced iconic products including the iMac, iPod, iPad and iPhone. Designs that overturned entire industries and created the world's most powerful brand. Little has been known about this shy, softly-spoken designer. Until now. Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products tells the riveting story of a creative genius, from his early interest in industrial design to his meteoric rise, as well as the principles and practices that led Ive to become the designer of his generation.
