Best Direct Mail & Email Marketing of 2026
The direct mail and email marketing that won a GDUSA award in 2026, each with the firm and the designers credited.
15 award-winning projects
Direct mail and email are the only design that gets measured to the penny, so a piece that wins here also had to perform. The designer has three seconds at the mailbox or in the inbox to win the next three, and the craft is in the first fold or the first line. The winners here get opened and then get acted on. Bank of America's in-house group has won 12 times with rewards mailers built for response, and Leibowitz's email template systems for SBG Funding and Ares turned a daily send into a brand. The best direct mail and email designers in the awards are shown here. Open any piece to see it and learn what made it work.
