Proving print’s power in the digital age with a centuries old brand.

Client USPS is one of the country’s oldest institutions, but in a world of digital options, mail is often overlooked as a marketing channel.

Solution

The update leveraged the brand’s classic bold swiss style—but brought in a spunky gradient of red, white and blue element to keep any individual piece from looking partisan. Care was taken to give the site a significant look and feel rennovation without throwing out the existing infrastructure.

Campaign Mail Handbook


The 2024 primer’s design was set by the initial piece created — a print handbook for everything campaign mail as a physical reference for political strategists. The modern, crisp spiral bound handbook fits into existing brand standards without looking dated to draws in the younger strategists who tend to think of mail last. 

A sample book fit for presidential campaigns

Challenge

USPS political mail consultants needed a set of hardworking political mail samples to show to potential customers —and a way to package them as a set.

My role — art director, designer

Solution

A large-scale, interactive sample book that houses a set of samples from two opposing faux candidates running for president. The book cleverly holds a sample in each page spread that gives context to how mail can combine with digital advertising to effectively drive voter action.

Companion web experience

The sales team needed a digital version of the kit that mimicked the original book so campaign teams wouldn’t be limited to the one physical copy that was shared with them. The content was reinterpreted into an interactive ebook for easy sharing across campaign teams.
