Figma is shipping products at a pace most marketing teams can barely track. Reema Batta, VP of Growth Marketing, is the person responsible for making sure they can actually keep up. Part of how they do it: a context layer. Every product Figma launches now comes with structured positioning, messaging, and value props that channel teams can reference directly, without a meeting or Slack chain. The coordination tax, as she calls it, is something she has systematically engineered out of the workflow. Reema also explains why Figma's AI-generated content is outperforming human-written pages, why the bottleneck in marketing is moving upstream to judgment, and how she thinks about prioritization when the product roadmap never slows down. We discuss: How the marketing funnel is being compressed inside AI conversations The context layer that keeps channel teams current without another meeting Why AI-generated content is outperforming human-written pages Tokenmaxxing as a phase-one metric, and what comes after it How Reema interviews for systems-thinking skills Why strong judgment is quickly becoming a marketer’s most important attribute Connect with Reema: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reema-batta/ Figma: https://www.figma.com
