Ideal Printers and PrintMailers, Inc., two of Houston’s largest mail and print service companies, today announced a merger that will combine their complementary portfolio of cross-media production services. The new company, Seebridge Media, will occupy the existing PrintMailers Inc. 112,000 sq. ft. location in Houston and offer an expanded range of fully integrated production services.

“The synergy is excellent,” stated Steve Johns, Seebridge Media partner and former owner of PrintMailers. “We see great opportunity in combining our complementary offerings, and providing a full range of production services from one company to simplify the process and better serve our clients.” Communications are becoming increasingly complex with diversied channels for reaching an increasingly sophisticated audience. Projects today require a multimedia strategy with a higher level of customization and personalization than ever before. Seebridge Media intends to bridge the gap between marketing strategy and execution by providing advanced production expertise and capabilities that improve the way businesses communicate.

With a combined 50+ years experience and 150 employees, Seebridge Media will utilize a broad portfolio of media production services and state-of-the-art operations to help communicators, marketers, and agencies successfully execute their programs.

Vaughn is a founding member of the Digital Solutions Cooperative (DSCOOP) and a member of the Mobile Marketing Association, while Johns served as President of the Southwest chapter of the Mailing and Fulllment Services Association.
