About BlackJet Marketing

Built on a Simple Idea: Marketing Should Work

Since 2008, BlackJet Marketing has helped B2C companies turn direct mail into a measurable, accountable channel — combining data, creative, technology, and execution into one connected system built to generate action.

Company History

Nearly Two Decades of Performance-Driven Direct Mail

BlackJet Marketing was founded in 2008 by Sean Kelly, an entrepreneur and marketing executive who saw an opportunity to approach direct marketing differently. Rather than focusing simply on reach, Sean believed marketing should be built to generate action, with the right audience, message and creative working together to deliver measurable results.

That philosophy became the foundation of BlackJet. What began with a focus on performance-driven direct mail has evolved into a broader set of capabilities spanning data and audience strategy, creative, personalization, technology, execution and measurement. Throughout that evolution, the goal has remained the same: help clients make smarter marketing decisions and get more from every campaign.

Nearly two decades later, BlackJet still brings that same performance mindset to every campaign. We’re curious by nature, willing to challenge what’s always been done and constantly looking for a smarter way to connect brands with consumers. Sometimes that means finding a better audience. Sometimes it means rethinking the creative, testing a new format or bringing new technology into the mix. What matters is finding what works.

Today, BlackJet combines deep direct marketing experience with an ongoing investment in data, technology and new capabilities. As the marketing landscape continues to change, so do we, finding new ways to make marketing more relevant, measurable and effective.

He later co-founded Integrated Marketing Solutions (IMS), which grew to become a leading marketing company in the vacation ownership industry before being acquired by Taylor Corporation in 2007.

Throughout his career, Sean has remained focused on finding better ways to connect businesses with the consumers most likely to respond. Today, he is leading BlackJet’s continued evolution through advancements in data, analytics, technology and AI, creating new opportunities for smarter targeting, greater personalization and stronger marketing performance.
