From Jack of All Trades to Niche Mastery in PMM, with Rob Kaminski
Episode Description: In this episode of We're Not Marketers, we’re diving deep with Rob Kaminski, one-half of the dynamic duo behind Fletch PMM. Rob’s journey is a masterclass in transitioning from a generalist’s toolkit to a hyper-focused niche, unlocking unparalleled expertise along the way. Together, we explore the unconventional path that led Rob and his co-founder Anthony Pierri to redefine positioning and messaging for early-stage SaaS companies, focusing on the all-important homepage. What you’ll learn: How to start building a market map and niche down effectively. Why being “too broad” can sabotage your positioning (and how to avoid it). The surprising power of debating with a partner to spark innovation. Why specificity is the ultimate superpower in product marketing. A behind-the-scenes look at Fletch’s process of refining their service and attracting their first 25 clients. And, hear Rob’s take on ‘how to position a platform’, specifically the same Q we asked April Dunford last month. Who’s answer will you like more: Rob’s or April’s? Whether you’re a product marketer looking to sharpen your craft, an aspiring fractional PMM, or just curious about what it takes to truly differentiate yourself in a crowded market, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and actionable advice. Tune in to hear Rob’s honest, no-holds-barred take on finding your focus and making it count.
