SUMMARY
With mail volume declining across industries, political mail is a critical revenue source for the USPS. Coming up on a highly anticipated election, the stakes were very high. But overnight, everything changed. There was uncertainty over a spreading virus, growing anxiety about the economy, and a shifting electorate that could shape the election. Nonetheless, we had to convince young political strategists, who increasingly prioritize digital, that mail drives action to the polls, especially Gen Z. Our research-driven strategy paid off, increasing political mail volume 80% from the previous general election.
