Read Time: 3.6 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...

​

Example #1 - Social Proof With a Theme

Surreal is a high-protein, zero-sugar cereal for adults.

Their testimonial section isn't just a collection of happy customers. It's curated around a single theme: this is what athletes eat.

Scroll through and you see strongmen, rugby players, Hyrox, nutritionists, and more.

The message isn't just "people love our cereal." It's "the people whose job depends on nutrition trust this product."

Example #2 - The Problem Section That Tells a Story

EVpin's problem section is one of the first I've seen that actually tells a story.

Most problem sections only describe how painful the current way of doing things is. EVpin walks you through what can happen when you do things the old way.

By the end, you don't just know the reason why EVpin exists. You feel it.

Example #3 - Release Notes With Intent

Most companies don't think much about how to deliberately organize their release notes.

Payhawk's "What's New" page does something most release hubs don't. It organizes everything for easy understanding.

Filters let you sort by feature type (enhancement or new feature), product area, integration, and date. Each entry has a clear label and follows the same copy structure, so you're never guessing what an update actually does.

The result is a page that's actually useful to browse. It shows what's changed in a specific part of the platform, the scope of recent work, and the difference between a minor enhancement and a meaningful new capability.

Example #4 - Beyond the Checkmark

Checkly is a code-first synthetic monitoring platform. It lets engineering teams write, run, and deploy application monitors the same way they'd write code.

Their comparison page against Pingdom goes further than most. Typical competitor tables gives you checkmarks and Xs. Checkly's gives you specifics.
​
For every feature where Pingdom falls short, they don't just mark it as missing. They show what Pingdom actually does instead.

This is hard to do if you don't have credible information on your competition, but if you do, it's a powerful way to show how you stack up.

Example #5 - From Ideas to Assets in Four Steps

Fourmula is an AI platform that generates on-brand product images and short videos for ecommerce brands. No photoshoot required.

Their How It Works section breaks the workflow into four simple steps:

  1. Add your products and brand
  2. AI generates options
  3. Choose the best
  4. Export ready-made assets

Each step pairs with a realistic visual showing what the actual product experience will look like.
