Managed Network VPN.

BellSouth’s Managed Network VPN Service is a powerful solution that unifies complex networks. By equating the BellSouth Network VPN Service as the way to integration and harmony within a network, a clear message was delivered from an unexpected, yet very relevant point of view.

Mailing #1 sets the expectation: “ within a ‘perfect world.” Calm, Zen-like imagery is used on the outer to support the messaging.Inside, this unique mailer has a self-contained flip-book to highlight the key benefits of solution and drive recipients to a landing page. Images chosen for the flip-book reflect the vertical industries targeted in BellSouth’s footprint.
