We had the pleasure of supporting the Getty Images marketing department for years, and created many different types of direct mail pieces for various products and promotions. Here are some samples.
For years, Getty Images only licensed photos, then they added videos and music. The marketing team wanted a creative piece to introduce the music offering and to explain the various services offered. We designed a piece that had a die-cut volume knob that could be spun on the cover of the brochure — you’ll see that it goes to 11, a fun reference to the movie Spinal Tap.

The goal was to communicate that Getty appreciated their business, understood they were in middle of the most important season, and they deserved the best just like the people they wrote about. This special brochure was included in the basket, and:
