ABA CONFERENCE IN SEPTEMBER:
Keep Austin Weird
MarketMatch will be doing its part to “Keep Austin Weird” at the ABA Bank Marketing conference. We’ll be there to talk about how we are using Psympl’s AI-powered segmentation to change engagement strategy. Demographics can’t predict behavior. Motivation does.

Beyond the Digital Brochure:
Website Planning and Design
MarketMatch approaches website design as a strategic growth engine, not just a visual deliverable—aligning every decision with business goals, audience intent, and measurable outcomes. By integrating AI-forward methodologies, we leverage data-driven insights to inform user experience, personalize content, and continuously optimize performance. This blend of strategy, design, and intelligent automation enables MarketMatch to create websites that are not only visually compelling but also adaptive, conversion-focused, and built to evolve alongside changing customer behaviors.
Here are two websites we had the pleasure of developing, one for Stewart’s Federal Credit Union (stewartscu.com) and the other for Gold Coast Federal Credit Union (gcfcu.org).
Consumers use your website to find and engage with you 63% of the time. If your website is more e-brochure than online lead generator, it may be time to take another look at your site’s strategy and design. Learn planning steps and design tips for creating a more engaging, sales-focused site.
It’s time to start utilizing your website to its full potential as a lead generator!
NUMBER ONE IN A NUMBER TWO BUSINESS
A few thoughts on taglines
I first heard this tagline back in the 80s. Rumor had it, this was the unofficial, in-house tagline for Ed Lowe’s kitty litter. The line must “have legs” as account executives like to say, because all these years later it is still around. You can usually see it printed on the truck door of one of those pet waste collection services. However, I find the line memorable for all the wrong reasons. It’s not much more than the offspring of clever word play and potty humor. In the parlance of joke talk, a groaner. So, if you’re in the business of creating taglines for your clients like we are, here are a few basics that you might find useful.
CHOOSE FRESH, USDA-GRADE LANGUAGE.
Taglines that bomb often bomb at the most basic level: the words.
For example:
Excellence through total quality.
This says everything and nothing. The truth is this line is indicative of what passes for a lot of taglines. Words like future, tomorrow, today, solutions, quality, technology are so over-used that it’s really hard to have a memorable tagline that leans too heavily on these words.
FOCUS, NOT FLUFF.
Make sure your tagline is focused by making sure it grows out of a clear positioning statement, a benefit/key differentiator. Look at how your competitor is positioned. Think about how you should be positioned. What is unique or better about what you sell, what you offer? Form that benefit into a concise positioning statement and then craft a tagline around it.
Here’s an example of a tired, unfocused line:
Unique, comprehensive and creative strategies serving your legal and business interests.
I call this fluff. It doesn’t stake out any new territory for itself nor reflect a whole lot of strategic thinking and positioning. It glues together the biz speak du jour into a line that is meant to impress. Now, the line may be accurate in what it says, but it lacks any appeal or real personality. Like so many taglines, it is merely descriptive of the services offered. Like so many other taglines, it sounds like it could apply to any legal firm. Like so many taglines, it is entirely forgettable.
As part of the brand building or brand refresh work we do for clients, taglines are often a key component of the project. Let’s talk branding!

SUMMER PLANNING:
RACING TO THE FUTURE
Recently, the MarketMatch team gathered in Indianapolis for our summer planning meeting. Given the location, our theme was spot on: Racing to the Future. While the meetings were productive and collaborative and really helped coalesce our vision for the future, pictures of us around the meeting table getting stuff done are just not as exciting as the ones of our after-meeting festivities.
There was go-cart racing,
a pedal wagon tour,
and baseball!
