The SHIFTING VOTER MINDSET

The United States Postal Service needed to prove that mail wasn't just relevant in political campaigns — it was essential. In an increasingly fragmented media landscape, they wanted to position direct mail as a digitally-connected channel that drives measurable voter action.

I wrote copy across an integrated campaign that explored how the political landscape was shifting — and why campaigns needed new strategies to break through.

USPS needed a sales tool to convince 2020 presidential campaigns to invest in direct mail. I pitched and wrote an interactive book featuring mock candidates with sample mail pieces that showed how to drive voter action throughout the election cycle. Originally created for presidential campaigns, the tool was so effective that USPS sales reps also used it to pitch direct mail across congressional, state, and local campaigns.

The campaign brought in 112% more revenue than previous years for a total of 4.7 billion pieces of political mail.

It won the 2021 Adweek Performance Marketing Action Award for Campaign of the Year (Agency) and Campaign of the Year (Direct Mail), and was an Effie Awards finalist in Government, Public Service and Current Events.
