Angela Rouson arrives in your mailbox

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Fresh off her impressive performance at Tiger Bay, Angela Rouson sent out this direct mail-piece to St. Petersburg voters: There’s a lot to like with this mailpiece, although it leaves me wanting more information about Rouson. The duo-toning throughout is a smart move, although I wonder if it was an attempt to make the voter forget that Angela is black. Still, the picture on the cover is fantastic. It reminds voters that Angela is the wife of popular state representative…

Scott Wagman’s new mailpiece downright garish

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Scott Wagman’s campaign is quickly assembling the worst direct-mail portfolio ever seen by a candidate spending half-a-million dollars. There is something positive to be said about pumping out piece after piece of this crap, but it’s hard to be positive when the design is garish and the message so muddled. Yes, I said garish.

Karl Nurse drops a niiiicccceeee mailpiece

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

My dear friend Karl Nurse dropped a niiiicccceeee mail-piece. Nice head shot, nice soft colors, nice quote from the Times. The reverse has a couple of niiiicccceeee pictures of Obama and Morpheus.

The front is about as good as you can get without trying…

Deveron Gibbons evokes (or plagiarizes?) Lawton Chiles in direct mail-piece

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

After Election Day, I promise I’m gonna make Deveron Gibbons a T-shirt that says “I spent $200,000 on my campaign to be Mayor and all I got was this T-shirt.” If I had 200K to spend on an election, this is not the mailpiece I would send out, especially after the recent coverage of Gibbons’ work for predatory lenders and the controversy over his checkered driving record. But when your consultant makes his bones on TV production, this is the…

A mailpiece from Rod Smith (sorta)

in Peter/Statewide by

With less than 100 days before the primary elections, the candidates certainly are busy. Charlie Crist launched a TV commecial blitz last weekend. And in today’s mail came an attractive, albeit standard, direct mailpiece from Rod Smith’s campaign. On one side, it has a quote from Bob Butterworth and the tagline “Experience, Vision, Guts.”How forceful! By the way, the mailpiece didn’t come directly from Smith’s campaign, rather from Floridians for Responsible Government, Inc.
