How Product Marketing and Content Marketing Build Clearer Stories with Lee Densmer
Description
In high-growth AI companies, clarity is currency. Your buyers move fast, your product evolves constantly, and your message needs to land across channels, teams, and formats. But clarity doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when Product Marketing and Content Marketing operate as one storytelling engine.
In this episode of Marketing Genius Unpacked, host Josh Porter, founder of Bit of Genius Consulting, sits down with Lee Densmer, content strategist and author of Content, Simplified. Lee has helped B2B organizations of all sizes turn complex ideas into content systems that are actionable, scalable, and aligned. Her work centers on eliminating noise, improving cross-functional collaboration, and building content that actually supports the GTM motion — not compete with it.
With deep experience across SaaS and enterprise tech, Lee brings a practical, grounded perspective on how Content Marketing and Product Marketing can partner more effectively, especially inside AI companies where velocity can outpace communication.
💬 What This Episode Is About
Josh and Lee unpack the real dynamics between PMM and Content teams — the good, the challenging, and the often overlooked. Together, they explore:
• How PMM and Content should collaborate during a product launch
• Why messaging consistency breaks down — and how to fix it
• How customer insights should shape content strategy
• How to prevent content from becoming outdated as AI products evolve
• Processes and workflows that keep content aligned with GTM priorities
• The key signals that your storytelling engine is working
This episode goes beyond theory. Lee shares clear frameworks for building alignment, reducing friction, and creating content that drives understanding, not confusion. Her approach gives teams the tools they need to operate cohesively, even when the roadmap is shifting weekly.
🚀 Why It’s Worth Your Time
AI products can be difficult to explain. They blur categories, evolve rapidly, and often require conceptual education before buyers can even assess value. That makes the PMM–Content partnership one of the most important — and overlooked — relationships inside a GTM motion.
This episode is essential for anyone working to:
• Sharpen product storytelling
• Align messaging across product, sales, and marketing
• Build content that reinforces — not dilutes — the product story
• Move faster without sacrificing clarity
• Build scalable content systems that keep up with rapid innovation
Lee offers practical ways to reduce noise, increase collaboration, and create content that supports both the buyer journey and the internal teams responsible for delivering it.
If you’ve ever felt like your content and your product story are living two different lives, this conversation gives you the roadmap to fix it.
🎯 Who This Episode Is For
This episode is designed for leaders at AI scale-ups — founders, GTM leaders, product marketers, and content teams responsible for translating complex technology into clear, compelling narratives.
If your message needs sharpening…
If your content feels disconnected from your product…
If your launches feel chaotic instead of cohesive…
This episode will help you build alignment, structure, and momentum.
