Yes, I’m the Direct Response Designer who takes getting results as seriously as you!
Meryl Randman
My passion for helping marketers get results began some 25 years ago at Time Inc., when its bustling in-house ad agency provided direct response creative services for some of the country’s most iconic brands — like PEOPLE, TIME, and FORTUNE. From there, I successfully branched out on my own and later expanded so I could provide direct response design services not just for businesses of all sizes but for nonprofits, too.
So what can you expect from me when we connect?
Lots of questions. About your market. Your customers. Your competition. Your pain points. Your budget restrictions. Your schedule (I’m a stickler for meeting client deadlines). You see, I don’t want to just “knock out your job” – I want to knock your ROI out of the ballpark.
Timeless direct response tactics. I know what’s trending now. But I also know what’s proven to work, over and over – and I’ve used those tactics to deliver measurable results for a variety of clients: B2C, B2B, and Nonprofits.
Choice of creative options. Before I dig in, I’m prepared to outline a few approaches we could take. So I can hit the ground running — in the direction YOU prefer.
Services beyond design. Need senior-level writers, photographers, web developers, or other vendors to complete your project? Just ask. My extended team includes an impressive array of talented pros, some of whom I’ve worked with for years.
Hey, are you a Direct Response Copywriter or Agency reading this? Do you enjoy collaborating with a designer who actually knows direct response? Let’s talk!
Meryl comes in so prepared that she saves days of working with anyone else. She shows true interest in any project, in solving obstacles, and in developing great design to represent client image perfectly. She is a pleasure to work with, and even more so, because she produces work that is always exciting and more than expected. Thank you, Meryl!”

Client List
Success is all about listening to your clients and knowing what kind of creative would best relay their message. No wonder I have continued to do work for such a diverse group of satisfied clients. Some stayed with me for over 15 years.
