The resulting effort, designed to emphasize that marketing success is driven by Unica and its customers, encompasses Unica's tagline, corporate mission, logo, content, websites, and more.

The new tagline, "MARKETING SUCCESS STARTS WITH U," is designed to connote what Unica stands for: bringing marketing success to "U" -- Unica's customers. At the same time, it reflects the company's leadership position in developing innovative marketing technology; marketing success starts with the "U" in Unica. The tagline will be further developed in some of Unica's core messages, for example:

 -- Discover the U in Customer: Unica delivers customer awareness allowing you to build meaningful customer interactions -- Discover the U in Communication: Unica's interactive marketing solutions enable you to communicate with your customers and prospects across all channels -- Discover the U in Business: Unica helps you transform your passion for marketing into measurable business success
