Witkowski (pictured), an expert in folded solutions for print and mail, hosts a popular video series entitled “60-Second Super-Cool Fold of the Week.” She inspires thousands of people weekly on her YouTube channel—which grabbed the attention of the talent scouts at creativeLIVE.
“We received many requests from our viewing audience to invite Trish to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for direct mail and folding” said George Varanakis, head of Talent for creativeLIVE in Seattle, Washington. “We have no doubt that her events will be both fascinating and well-received.”
Witkowski will be giving the following free, back-to-back presentations on the morning (US time) on 20 August – for Australia viewers, it will be on very early in the morning on 21 August.
“Direct Mail to the MAX” On at 2:00 AM AEST (9:00am PT/12:00pm ET). The 90-minute presentation is focused on the process behind creating direct mail that performs. She will cover audience, strategy and planning, format choice and engagement techniques, testing, tracking and measurement. She plans to back up the information with powerful real-world case studies. Witkowski will also be launching her new publication series, Direct Mail (simplified), during the event.
“That’s Fold-tastic!” On at 3:30 AM AEST (10:30am PT/1:30pm ET). For this presentation, Witkowski will be sharing her best folding tips, tricks and formats from nearly 20 years of research on the topic. This fun and inspiring session will feature some of the most fascinating real-world folded solutions from her vast collection of print samples. She will also make a move to the desktop to share some production techniques for creating accurate Adobe InDesign files for folded materials.
“I’m so excited to be a part of this event,” said Witkowski. “It’s an incredible opportunity to reach a global audience of creative professionals and to share my passion for direct mail and print. I’ve spent my entire career researching folding and, in recent years, mail— and I know I can help people get amazing results. It’s going to be a blast.”
