GRiP promotion

ARCADIS GRiP Promotion
A C-Suite Direct Mail Campaign

Campaign Elements:
Dimensional Mailer
White Paper Offer
Website

ARCADIS, a global engineering services company, wanted to promote their Guaranteed Remediation Program, GRiP^®, to 200 highly qualified prospects. Research showed the most effective target for the campaign would be CFOs. But how do you speak to such a rarefied group? Hero translated this key insight into one clear message that would become the foundation of the campaign: Get a GRiP on Cost Certainty. A headline which touched upon a CFO’s greatest point of pain and supported the service’s primary value to a client.

TDA

For this campaign by TDA, Hero became the manager of the
media schedule. We created the final art, handled the resizes and coordinated client approvals with the TDA staff. Getting accurate files to the pub on time is what we do.

Increased tickets sales and
a win in the Denver 50.

The 2008 campaign for the National Repertory Orchestra succeeded in many ways. It reversed a two year slump in NRO tickets sales and won Hero a place in The Denver 50 ad show. Strategy and design working together is a beautiful thing.

Production inspires design.

This small-run invite for the Globus Presidents Symposium is a perfect example of our craft. It was illustrated, designed and lovingly hand-sewn by Hero designers. Yes, that is a white ink
silk-screen on red paper.

Dielines and crossovers.

A deceptively simple piece. This Globus direct-mail involved some creative and careful bindery. Anticipating production challenges and making new ideas work is what Hero is all about.

Can you digest 500 pages?

The eminent and wonderful Gabby made a reservation for the best print production in Denver. At Hero we use a database driven system to quickly and accurately produce large document layouts. We are constantly evaluating new techniques and software to improve our processes. For Gabby we set a new speed record, 500 pages laid out in 4 hours. Try doing that without a net.
