When Nikon wanted to gain visibility with the media for its COOLPIX Style Series digital cameras, the iconic camera manufacturer turned to Studio MWW, MWW Group’s visual branding practice, tocreate a unique media mailer that would catch the media’s eye while delivering all of Nikon’s message points. With a custom cork cover, the mailer invited journalists to explore Nikon and all of the COOLPIX line of camera’s offerings.
