Nimble Workspaces has a unique, stylized lobby wall that Predi modeled in 3D and recreated as closely as possible. We wanted to have control over the lighting in the image. The array of actual photographs along the bottom helped sell the facade.

Summary
We built a versatile suite of postcards and mailers serving several McCord Development brands. Nimble Workspaces prioritized full bleed imagery and a scannable QR code, spotlighting premium interiors alongside a 1:1 lobby wall rendering we created that matched pattern and wood grain exactly. Bocca Italian Kitchen’s piece delivered a warm, personal message with a complimentary entree, designed to accommodate stamps and addresses. The Wedding Venue at Redemption Square used an elegant script and palette pulled from photography, giving imagery center stage without postal marks. Eden Salon Suites announced expansion, front side for recruiting new tenants, back side listing services for residents. Together, these print assets encouraged tours, reservations, and inquiries for clarity, quality, and quick action.
Project Goals & Purpose
Direct mail remains a powerful bridge between discovery and intent when it is purposeful, beautiful, and easy to act on. Our objective was to design a family of mailers that respected each brand’s voice while standardizing what busy marketing teams need, reliable print specs, clear CTAs, and measurable responses. As a Subscription-Based Design Agency, we planned a repeatable workflow that lets McCord request new variations without starting from scratch each time. For Nimble Workspaces, the purpose was twofold, celebrate premium environments and remove friction with a QR code that routes prospects to the page instantly. For Bocca, the purpose was personal, invite past guests back with a sincere tone and a simple incentive, while preserving postal space. For the Wedding Venue at Redemption Square, we let photography and script carry the emotion and ensured uninterrupted surfaces by avoiding address panels. For Eden Salon Suites, we spoke to two audiences at once, prospective renters on the front and residents on back, listing services to drive immediate visits. Across cards, we templated type scales, color logic, and safe zones so future campaigns can be produced and tested rapidly at scale.
Challenges
Serving multiple brands meant juggling different tones, formats, and postal rules while keeping production momentum. Nimble Workspaces needed uninterrupted visuals, while Bocca required addressable space and a softer voice. The Wedding Venue’s elegant script demanded careful legibility at print size, and Eden’s dual audience required dense back copy without visual fatigue. Achieving a 1:1 lobby wall rendering that felt photographic introduced color management and texture matching challenges across coated stocks and varied lighting conditions in final prints. We prioritized clarity in small formats to preserve message hierarchy and scannability across deliveries and mailings.
Solutions
We established a shared print matrix defining sizes, bleeds, safe zones, coatings, and weights, then created modular layouts tailored to each brand. Our 1:1 lobby wall was modeled and rendered with Cinema4D and Keyshot 3D, then color matched in Photoshop against reference photos for grain and sheen accuracy. We standardized type scales, contrast ratios, and QR specifications to protect scan reliability. Operating through our Design Retainer Service and On-Demand Creative Services model, we delivered revisions while maintaining Corporate Design Solutions discipline, giving McCord a sustainable system for future postcard campaigns at scale.

Client Reception
McCord’s team reported strong engagement, citing QR traffic spikes for Nimble Workspaces, steady redemptions and returns for Bocca, venue inquiries following photo led cards, and increased tenant interest at Eden. They praised the balance of brand specificity and repeatable production, noting that new mailers now move from brief to print with confidence and fewer rounds. Results were consistent across cycles, strengthening benchmarks and improving post mail follow up for teams.
