Product: Fedrigoni Freelife Series, a type of paper that is certified for a long life.

Problem: PrismPapyrus wanted to convey the availability and the characteristics of this paper to its existing and prospective clients. But they only had a budget of $1500 to do this. The limited budget put mass media out of the equation. So this is how we did it.

Solution: We sent their clients a DIY direct mailer, printed on the Fedrigoni Freelife paper, of course. It let them create little paper models of endangered species that they could put on their desks and thus preserve them for a long time. The DM did its job and conveyed the long-lasting character of the paper in the most interesting manner.

Results: There was a sharp surge in the inquiries for Fedrigoni Freelife Series and nearly 30% of those resulted in sales for PrismPapyrus.

In the early days of social media, the market was flooded with “social media gurus” and agencies that added social media-related bullet points to their new business decks and called themselves experts in the space. Very thankfully, there is less of that nonsense today, the segment has grown up and the market has become more mature.

But it’s still not exactly clear with which entity the responsibility for a brand’s social media program sits. Some argue the specialized expertise of agencies and PR firms are still needed to guide brands through the maze of social media opportunities. Others argue it’s inefficient and leads to less effective engagement when outside parties are involved and, therefore, advocate for social media to be handled internally. In fact, Edelman coined the term “social business” to describe the proliferation of social media practices at the enterprise level.
