Alice Buchman Creative Design, Inc. is proud to announce that we have been awarded 3 Neographics - 2015 Power of Print awards for the concept and design of CountDown2Holidays Multi-channel promotion for The Standard Group.
Alice Buchman Creative Design won in the following categories:
Best of Category Winner for Digital Printing: Variable Data
Franklin Award of Excellence for Cross-Media Marketing
Franklin Award of Excellence for Printer's Self-Promotion: Campaigns
Project: The Standard Group's CountDown2Holiday Multi-channel Promotion
ABCDesign created a gingerbread house direct mailer as the heart of the multi-channel campaign. The direct mailer was designed like an advent calendar and encouraged users to help count down to the holidays for 6 days. Each of the days revealed a free gift for the user to order or experience.
A few photographs old and new of The Standard Group's Headquarters on Pearl Street in Reading were used to replicate the front facade by first creating a line drawing of the building and then decorating it with images of candy to resemble a gingerbread building.
The back of the gingerbread building was created from actual photos of Standard's equipment and facility and made to resemble 3 floors of production along with a holiday poem which was personalized for each client.
