Marketing can be hard.
Especially if it’s business-to-business marketing, asking people for money and time commitment.
That’s what faces conference and seminar marketers all the time.
That’s why when moneylaundering.com asked us to help them promote their conference, it required a powerful marketing campaign to overcome objections of time and money.

And with recent penalties running in tens of millions – being sure you are compliant has never been more essential.

By using the proper direct response copy and art and a multi-media strategy of direct mail, email and landing pages, we were able to achieve goals far exceeding expectations (over 2,000 paid attendees) and won the silver award for the best campaign of the year.
