"The launch of Postalytics Academy is a huge step forward for us, and for our customers," said Postalytics Director of Client Success Michael Prosser. "With direct mail making a resurgence as a highly targeted, performance marketing channel, many marketers have only been taught and trained in digital marketing. We've found that many companies have a strong desire to not only teach their employees about direct mail, but also how direct mail automation fits into their digital strategies."
