DIRECT MAIL THAT CUTS THROUGH THE NOISE & WINS CAMPAIGNS
About Us
BZD is a leading national direct mail firm that provides persuasive print advertising and strategic guidance to Democratic candidates and organizations from coast to coast. We are former campaign managers who develop award-winning direct mail programs and mail pieces that win campaigns for our clients. We manage the targeting, planning, concepting, design, and writing of individually focused mail programs and pieces, tailored specifically for each campaign. And we oversee the production and mailing to ensure the pieces get dropped on time.
Over the past 10 years, our creative work has won more Pollie Awards than any other direct mail firm, including top overall awards for Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and state legislative campaigns as well as multiple awards for the top overall mail program.
Our Mission
We are guided by two core values:
Always take the extra step to help our clients win. We are advocates for our clients, using our personal networks to make introductions to political organizations or donors, helping you find earned media opportunities, and connecting you with potential campaign staff. We’re in your corner, 100% of the time.
Make the challenge of running for office easier for the people we work with. We know that there’s a lot of competition for your attention any given day, but only a limited number of things you can worry about moment-to-moment. Our goal is to use our experience to take things off your plate, not burden you with more work.
That’s why you will find us in the trenches, on the ground, with our campaigns to help plan and execute a winning campaign.
