PMM Files # 113 - Next Level Logo Bar, Clear Beats Clever, and When Demo and Copy Collide


Read Time: 3.8 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

Supported By: The PMM Jetpack

What's the #1 Challenge for PMMs?

Lack of resources β€” time, budget, team.

The PMM Jetpack delivers real playbooks, templates, and examples to level up your work, no matter what you’re working with.

​

Example #1 - A Next Level Logo Bar

Most logo bars are pretty straightforward. You see dozens of em' every day.

But Clay is doing something different. Hover over any of the specially marked logos and you'll see a testimonial pop up. Many of the logos map to a very specific persona and use case β€” from scaling SDRs, to automating enrichment, to driving outbound.

They essentially turned their logo bar into a wall of mini case studies and testimonials.

​→ Bet you've never seen a logo bar like this before​

​

Example #2 - Excellent Problem and Solution Framing

Debtfindr nails product/solution framing on their homepage, starting with a powerful hook: β€œMillions of Americans have debts they don’t know about.”

Right away, you’re asking yourself: Am I one of them? 😨

Then comes the solution: "Debtfindr helps you Discover, Negotiate, and Resolve your debt."

This is a great example of introducing buyers to a problem they might not know they have.

Example #3 - On the Money, Penny Drop

HIFI’s penny drop image makes a complex concept instantly clear β€” moving money across banks, stable coins, and traditional finance.

Old rails on one side. Modern use cases on the other. HIFI’s API bridging the gap.

It makes the product’s value clear without needing many words. And for data-heavy products, this goes a long way.

Example #4 - When Clear Beats Clever

This hero nails the basics and that’s exactly why it works.

It’s specific, jargon-free, clear on use cases, and tells you everything you need to know about Sandbar.

Sometimes, just getting the fundamentals right is what makes you stand out.

​→ Go ahead, try NOT to understand what this product does​

​

Example #5 - When Demo and Copy Collide

As I read Maybe's website copy, I actually felt like I was experiencing the product. And it was all thanks to icons.

I've never seen this before.

Throughout the homepage, features are explained using icon-rich text that mirrors the real product experience.

From tracking accounts, to managing budgets, to logging transactions, you don’t just read it... you feel it.

For a product that spans everything from crypto to groceries, this blend of visuals and copy makes it feel approachable, personal, and refreshingly unique.

​→ This copy is so good, you'll want to click it​


Never Start From Scratch Again

Product marketers like Emily use the PMM Jetpack to skip the unnecessary parts of building a PMM function from the ground up.

"The launch playbook is a prime example. I spent HOURS creating one, that didn't quite do what I wanted. One click in The Jetpack β€” boom, done. Simply incredible!"

Stop staring at a blank page. Get every resource you need for your next launch, campaign, messaging project, and more.
