#25: Backstage, Q&A and our future

Today you’ll be hearing part two of our previous episode, featuring Jade Maravillas, Alliances Director at Birlasoft, and Cassi Vilvert, Product Manager at Z1. Last episode, while they share their story, we also got to know key topics revolving around product marketing, the early days and in tech, and consolidating a company's differentiation strategy. Since storytelling is so central to the marketing field, we illustrated what they learned about this area with actual stories that they experienced in their professional lives. So if you haven't had the chance to listen to our previous episode, I highly recommend that you do so, since it was a very illuminating conversation. In this part of our chat we talked about the importance of writing in product marketing, and discussed books and the future of this area.

Welcome to The Manuscript!  In this podcast, we're passionate about writing and technology.  Every couple of weeks we talk to people making a difference in the intersection of writing and the development of technology products, covering technical and UX writing, product development, art and design, content strategy and anywhere else there’s someone thinking about content in digital products and the tech industry.

Welcome to quite a different episode than what we’re used to. We’ll have a Q&A about the show, share some backstage stories, special projects like Pupila Talk, and talk about the future of the show.

In this episode we interviewed Beatriz Guerreiro, fellow tech writer at VTEX, to talk about release notes, and the process of implementing them at VTEX. Bia graduated in International Relations at Universidade Federal Fluminense, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and before joining VTEX she worked at IBM in the Latin American HR. And we’re trying out a different kind of episode. On the last couple of weeks we came to the conclusion that it would be really cool to share with you a recent challenge we faced at VTEX involving release notes. We wanted to share how it went down and what we learned in the process. And it brought to my mind that maybe this could be a recurrent theme on the show. What if we had themed episodes with case studies of projects that different people lead?
