KSA Holiday Card

Each year, KSA tries to create a truly special and memorable holiday card. Our goal is to deliver holiday greetings in clever ways that remind our friends, clients and business partners of our abilities to use words and images to concisely convey sophisticated messages. The bonus: we get to have fun along the way.

As the recession dragged into its third year in 2010, we decided we wanted to send people a card that evoked feelings of warmth and nostalgia.

We decided to play off the instantly recognizable Google search result format and use it to tell tiny stories that capture universal feelings, truths, and life experiences revolving around the holidays.

The modern format paired with the very nostalgic, heartfelt vignettes, combined the best of 1935 and 2011 – think Norman Rockwell meets information age.

We received more compliments for our card in 2010 than in any other year, and also won a Silver Trumpet Award from the Publicity Club of Chicago. Here’s what our clients and friends had to say:

• “The best corporate holiday card I have ever seen…Clever and thought-provoking.”
• “Thanks for the Awww moment.”
• “I shared [your card] with our marketing folks to help them understand what is truly innovative.”
• “No quick glance and toss for this card. Anyone who does will miss the quality of the multiple little messages contained within.”
