Every security marketing team has run this launch:
Product ships. Campaign goes live. The value prop falls apart somewhere between the messaging doc and the paid social. Demand gen ran with one story. Product marketing wrote another. Sales invented a third on a call.
Nobody decided who owned the message, so everybody owned a piece of it. The buyer got the mess.
The cause is usually simpler than a talent gap: the line between PMM and demand gen was never drawn. In a category as crowded as security, that blurry line shows up fast in your win rates and your MQL quality.
Our new piece maps the split that works:

→ What demand gen should lead (the number)
→ The deliverables they share
→ The four fights that keep coming back, and how to end them
No reorg required. Just one page everyone agrees on.
