TreelinePress
TreelinePress helps organizations participate in important market conversations through sponsored content, executive interviews, event programs, speaking, advisory and market research.
The work connects each organization’s perspective to the larger forces changing customer communications, including digital transformation, AI, print and mail, regulation, customer experience and enterprise technology.
TreelinePress does not produce product brochures or vendor rankings. The focus is credible market context and a clear point of view.
TreelinePress captures where the market is going, where traditional CCM becomes legacy and strategic customer communication moves to the center of the experience. The traditional CCM ecosystem will have to work and design this New Frontier.

Former CEO, Quadient
No agenda. No spin. TreelinePress delivers a clear view of the CCM market—and what it means for the future of print.
Didier Rouillard
Co-Founder, DNOW!
As customer communications shifts toward digital-first models, TreelinePress helps clarify what that transformation really means for the industry.

Amit Sawhney
CEO, FCI CCM
TreelinePress isn’t trying to replace what other analysts or providers do. Their work elevates traditional analyst work, making it more visible and easier to understand by interpreting what’s happening across the market.

CEO, Smart Communications
There is strong demand for open, integrative approaches to customer communication. TreelinePress provides an external perspective on what this evolution means.

On-site recording is available (travel costs extra). Pricing starts at $7,500.

This format works well for market education, product category framing, event promotion, executive visibility, partner storytelling, or sponsorship around a specific industry theme.

Sponsored article or market commentary
Executive interview hosted by Andy Young
Remote recording
Edited or review-ready video/audio, depending on scope
