PebblePost has been awarded the trademark for Programmatic Direct Mail®, and has patents pending on the use of ad serving workflow and campaign management, address verification and daily optimization to manufacture Programmatic Direct Mail® every day.
“Large brands and agencies are telling us that Programmatic Direct Mail® is essentially a new marketing channel that brings a distinct level of customer engagement and performance that no other solution available today can offer,” said Lewis Gersh, CEO and founder of PebblePost.
In the coming months, PebblePost will expand the team, and launch new ways to reach active or potential customers and new programmatic collateral formats.

They are shooting for a large share of a $100+ billion digital and direct marketing opportunity. The rocket ship is packed.”
