direct mail lives!

AIBA (Austin Independent Business Alliance), McCarthy Print, and Graphic Granola joined forces for this postcard campaign promoting Direct Mail, as a way to stand out from competitors.

The first “Direct Mail Is Alive!” postcard came out around Halloween 2021, with an added plea to Keep the Post Office Alive! during DeJoy’s attack on the postal service during the Trump administration. The second postcard was pretty straightforward pointing out that Direct Mail will get attention when there’s so much competition to get people’s attention via email.
