Special-effect mailshot - bpost

The idea behind the mailshot for bpost was to make it clear to the recipient that tangible communication is a must in direct marketing (DM).

An original campaign is not enough. Special visual effects can add that extra touch you need to succeed. For this mailshot we used special inks (daylight ink and thermochromic ink), allowing readers to discover an additional hidden message.
