Share Local Media Employee Perspectives

Share Local Media, a full-service direct mail and OOH agency, has been awarded the prestigious Gold Mailbox Award at the 2026 REGGIE Awards, presented by the United States Postal Service. The honor recognizes the agency's innovative, mail-led campaign developed for Fabletics, which demonstrated how direct mail data and strategy can pair with OOH to power a high-performing, multi-channel retail activation.

A Mail-Led Approach That Redefined Channel Integration

Share Local Media took a unique approach to Fabletics' offline strategy by leveraging OOH media to enhance direct mail performance rather than compete with it - improving overall campaign effectiveness while reaching incremental consumers.

Fabletics needed a solution that could not only drive measurable retail performance, but also extend audience reach and unify channel impact across offline media. Seven OOH placements, a mix of static and digital bulletins positioned near stores and along high-traffic commuter routes, were intentionally timed to run ahead of and during mail delivery, warming audiences before each mail piece arrived in-home.

A Industry-first OOH Matchback Analysis

Unlike traditional OOH measurement, which relies on broad reach and lift metrics, Share Local Media's proprietary OOH matchback methodology connects exposed audiences directly to customer transactions to report actual purchases tied to the media, a capability that's rarely been possible within OOH. The result was a more precise understanding of how OOH exposure contributed to store visits and sales, bringing digital-level accountability to offline marketing.

"SLM's OOH Matchback will become a key industry standard going forward," said Gahwui Kim, VP at Share Local Media. "The ability to connect customer transactions to an OOH campaign presents a powerful case for the type of impact offline media can have for performance marketers."

Results That Speak for Themselves

The campaign delivered exceptional, measurable results that far exceeded industry benchmarks:

  • +122% lift in store traffic versus control during the 14-day attribution window
  • +255% store traffic lift at locations with the strongest overlap between OOH exposure and mail delivery
  • +7.4% lift in average daily orders during the campaign and 14-day attribution period
  • An estimated $45 cost per order as validated through the proprietary OOH-to-household matchback methodology developed by Share Local Media

I learn something new every day at SLM and no one ever makes me feel bad for the things I don't know. Funny GIFs in Slack, gargantuan dim sum group orders, and happy hours that turn into all-night events are just icing on the cake!

There is always something fun on the calendar to look forward to! Apart from our bi-weekly happy hours, we’ve gone bowling, wine tasting, to hot-pot, and to karaoke (on many occasions). We also love to celebrate big milestones whenever we can. The team is small and we’re all friends so it’s fun to hang outside of the office and try something new!
