“infoGROUP Nonprofit delivers a full range of postal and digital direct marketing services to our nonprofit clients,” said Ed Mallin, President, infoGROUP Service Group. “Creative, print and digital campaigns, audience targeting, data processing, in-depth analytics; the infoGROUP Nonprofit team is the industry leader in each of these areas. This is exciting news for our client base.”
Larry May, who founded May Development Services in 1993 and now serves as President of Direct Media | Millard added, “The combined group creates a single strategic solution for clients and will service the complete nonprofit market including health, religious, environmental, political, animal welfare and social service fields.”

This new relationship will enable us to combine our strategic resources at every stage of the acquisition and renewal process for a better return on the client’s investment,” she added.
