NOTE

Company-wide Market Point of View at Postman (April Dunford)

Postman has successfully established itself in a niche market by creating a platform focused on API development, a novel concept not previously available. They emphasize the critical importance of APIs, advocating against the use of disjointed tools for API work within organizations. Postman has introduced the concept of an 'API First World' and effectively communicates this idea through engaging storytelling tools, such as a graphic novel aimed at technical audiences. This graphic novel explains the significance of APIs and the necessity for high-quality APIs in business, reinforcing the value of a cohesive platform. Their marketing strategy encompasses various formats, notably through the CEO's public talks that prioritize discussion of the broader market and API importance over the specific product. This approach aligns potential customers with their market perspective, enhancing the overall understanding of why their product is essential and valuable. Postman's ability to articulate a compelling point of view about the market context around their product has significantly boosted their recognition and appeal to clients.
