Matcha Empowers Lean Marketing Teams with the First Comprehensive Content Marketing Solution Built for Direct-To-Consumer Brands

RootsRated Media, the leading content marketing platform for lean marketing teams, unveiled its new brand identity today. Now known as Matcha, the company has rolled out an entirely new logo, color scheme and website. The new brand aligns with their vision to give lean marketing teams the power of data-driven content marketing, as well as their aim to kick off a broader conversation about what Matcha is calling, the “E-Commerce Revolution 2.0.”

“Just as Matcha tea provides lasting energy to the drinker, we believe our content, insights and services act as fuel to boost marketing efforts and drive sustainable growth for small and medium size businesses,” said Fynn Glover, founder and CEO. “Platforms like Shopify, Stripe and Facebook have revolutionized small businesses by making it easier than ever to get a business off the ground. Yet competition has made it harder than ever to build lasting success. It’s time for a new crop of solutions to empower small marketing teams to stand out in crowded markets and maintain strong growth trajectories. Matcha does this by making authentic storytelling and data-driven content marketing accessible, scalable and performant for e-commerce marketers at small and medium sized businesses.”

“Historically, content marketing has been off-limits for e-commerce businesses with lean marketing teams.

We’re big believers in what the Matcha platform can do and the larger revolution they are helping to drive for SMBs.”

Matcha is steeped in content marketing expertise that extends back to the founding of RootsRated.com, the leading website for where to go outdoors, in 2012. The team behind the RootsRated.com publishing business formed RootsRated Media in 2016 to leverage their experience to develop proprietary content marketing software for lean marketing teams. By mid-2018, RootsRated Media had raised its Series A led by TechOperators, relocated from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and made the decision to rebrand as Matcha. The company recently moved into new offices near Krog Street Market in Atlanta.
