In Berlin, the “Druck&Medien Awards” were presented for the 19th time to honor outstanding achievements in the German printing industry. The young company, MyPostcard, impressed the jury and received the Xerox Award as the socially committed printing company of the year.
Berlin, October 20th, 2023 – This year’s Druck&Medien Awards took place at the Grand Hyatt in Berlin on October 19. Winners in a total of 25 different categories were honored at the festive gala. Among the five finalists in the “Socially Committed Printing Company” category, MyPostcard was a convincing winner, beating out Sattler Media Group GmbH (silver) and Buchbinderei Schaumann GmbH (bronze), among others. This was the second year in a row that MyPostcard has held its spot: in 2022, the company was named Crossmedia Service Provider of the Year.
“Postcards are not just a great print product. It is rather the medium to connect people, draw attention to grievances and empower in today’s world. Postcards give us the chance to change lives!” says Josipa Gelo, Head of Marketing & Collaborations at the postcard app.
MyPostcard regularly supports projects that are in accordance with the company’s values. Since 2016, the brand has been committed to equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community in collaboration with All Out and launched the successful #IFEELTHESAME campaign in 2021, where advocates could send a postcard to All Out free of charge for one month to show their support. The goal of the campaign was to get an explicit amendment to Article 3 in the Basic Law to protect sexual and gender identity. At the end of the campaign, postcards from All Out, MyPostcard and the initiative GRUNDGESETZ FÜR ALLE were presented to members of the Bundestag.
The company also focuses on female empowerment: MyPostcard supported the work of TERRE DES FEMMES for four years through fundraising activities and launched a campaign with HÁWAR.help. in 2023 for International Women’s Day to send a visible message of solidarity to women and girls as well as peace and human rights activists.
In 2020, MyPostcard initiated a campaign with Deutsche Post AG during the Corona pandemic under the slogan #ForMeForUs, giving away one million postcards so people could stay connected with their loved ones despite the contact restrictions in place at the time.
In numerous fundraising campaigns, in which users of the app participated with their postcard, thousands of euros have already been collected through MyPostcard. The Berlin-based company itself supported the projects by donating the proceeds.
