You provide two things

The list.
The thing you sell.

We do the slower work between a row in a spreadsheet and a piece of mail worth opening.

  1. 01

    You send

    A prospect list

    Named companies, people if you have them, and business addresses. If the list is not ready, describe the market and we can scope the research.

  2. 02

    You explain

    What you are selling

    The offer, the buyer, the useful proof, and what a good response looks like. Plain language is enough.

  3. 03

    We deliver

    A reason to write

    A verified company-specific detail, a message built around it, approved proofs, and the physical send.

What personalisation means here

Not “Hi, Sarah”.
A fact worth mentioning.

We look for something public, current, and relevant to the offer. If a useful fact is not there, we flag the record. We do not manufacture one.

Illustrative company and message. Live work uses sourced facts and client-approved proofs.

Sarah,

I noticed Northstar has opened three senior engineering roles in Manchester.

We have just mapped the salary movement behind that hiring market, including the roles where expectations moved fastest.

Thought the two-page briefing might be more useful on your desk than another link in your inbox.

One service. Two outputs.

Choose how it leaves the building.

The research and writing are the service. The production format follows the message, budget, and volume.

Hi, Priya, Andrew
Real pen
on paper

Format 01 / Pen-written

The note that feels one-to-one.

A real pen writes each approved message on a card. Best for concise, personal outreach where the physical act of writing is part of the point.

  • Individual message data
  • Real ink variation
  • Card and envelope production
Illustrative professionally printed Signal Mail letter Print-ready
PDF

Format 02 / Professionally printed

The useful thing worth keeping.

A designed letter, briefing, or mini-report with prospect-specific details merged into a print-ready file and fulfilled through a professional print route.

  • Variable data and artwork
  • Letter, brief, or folded piece
  • Print and postage handling

Start with 25 names

A controlled first run, not a mail drop.

Enough prospects to test the research method, message, production, and response route without turning quality control into theatre.

The starting brief

Give us the list.
Tell us what you sell.

We will reply with a straight view on what can be researched, which format fits, and what the first 25-name run should contain.

Not ready to upload a list?

Describe the companies and buyers in the message box. That is enough to start.

Brief / 01

What should we put in the post?

Preferred output
CSV or spreadsheet, up to 8 MB. Business contact details only.

Nothing is researched or posted until scope, data handling, and the first run are agreed. See our privacy policy.

Useful questions

Before you send the spreadsheet.

What counts as a useful data point?

A public fact that creates a credible bridge to your offer: a new role, a location change, a product launch, an accreditation, a planning application, a published target, or another current business event. It has to be relevant, not merely available.

Do you need named contacts?

No. A company list and buyer role can be enough to scope the work. Named business contacts help when the final piece needs to reach a particular person.

Is the handwriting actually done with a pen?

Yes. The pen-written format uses a physical pen held by a writing machine. For longer pieces, professional print is usually the better format.

What if there is nothing interesting to find?

We flag the record and agree whether to replace it, use a broader researched angle, or leave it out. The service does not depend on pretending every company has a perfect signal.
