Award Winner:
Direct Mail Poster   
Direct Mail Front 
Direct Mail Back

A printer received recognition for commitment to sustainability and wanted to share the news with the business community. A quarter-fold direct mail piece was created with a full image on one side and copy on the back. The piece uses a light touch to get across that the printer received the award for a commitment that it has held for many years while also gently promoting the company's services. 2008 Bronze ADDY award winner.

3D Direct Mail Campaign  
 

When an electronic product development company decided to go after a new market, they needed an attention-getter. The target was venture capitalists. The message was that, when a product a VC has funded for development gets stalled, ARMA Design can save the project--as well as time and money. Three mailings were developed, each focusing on a particular sport. These postcard-sized pieces were placed inside a box that held an item relevant to the sport. (The race theme went with a miniature race car, the baseball theme was mailed with a baseball "stress ball" and the golf theme accompanied golf balls).
