Integrated Fundraising Communications
We take pride in building successful partnerships, growing with every client as, together, we test the limits of direct marketing in order to generate the revenues to advance their case.
We deliver innovative and wise counsel, drawn from our close personal relationships with each client and our vast professional knowledge and expertise.
With more than 30 years of direct marketing experience we have grown from a small Milwaukee-based firm to one of the most accomplished direct response marketing agencies in the country, with offices in Milwaukee, WI and Washington, DC.
From our beginnings we knew that success depended on fostering strong partnerships with our clients, and we are convinced that at the core of any successful partnership is a common set of goals, values, and priorities. In our corporate mission statement we make clear that it is critical we share a common bond with everyone we work with.
We believe, above everything else, that people make the difference. And we know that when you judge us, you will be evaluating how well our team will work day in and day out to make your fundraising program an unparalleled success. The principal reason ABD Direct offers the best array of direct mail services is because we have the finest people working for us.
It means we will attend to every detail and take 100% responsibility for all aspects of your program. Our focus on client service makes us the easiest firm to work with—and it makes us the best.
