ABOUT LDMI …

"We have been a customer of Lawrence Direct since the late eighties. Initially they authored, produced and mailed a newsletter for us that became the “standard” of the industry. It required technical writing and a clear understanding of our industry and clients. As I look back at being in business 35 years, this newsletter is one of the top 10 great decisions that we made! The newsletter stopped after about 4 years and I can remember the accounting department breathing a sigh of relief ‘cause they wouldn’t have to do so many ‘credit checks” for new accounts any more! More recently Lawrence Direct developed a series of mailings for a new venture in Atlanta, GA, which consisted of 4 mailings which were highly targeted and produced a lot of opportunities for new business. Lawrence Direct can develop strategy, write, produce and mail, which makes them my “easy Button”!"

"I don’t know how many millions of dollars LDMI has raised for the Media Research Center, but I do know why this firm has been so successful. Three reasons: Brilliant strategic thinking, sound execution, and absolute integrity. There’s not much more a client can ask for."

Brent Bozell
Media Research Center
Founder & President


"Simply said, the Parents Television Council would not exist today without the fundraising efforts of Lawrence Direct Marketing. LDMI has provided superb strategic planning for the PTC's fundraising and grassroots activism, and strategy comes with excellent tactics and -- most importantly -- with execution. Lawrence is more than a vendor; Lawrence is our partner."

Tim Winter
Parents Television Council
President
