The Old-School New Way To Stay In Touch with Santiago Prieto

Today’s episode is with Santiago Prieto. Santiago is the co-founder of Punkpost, a service that mails beautifully handwritten cards for you as quick as texting. It’s super simple: Choose a card. Add your message. Sit back and relax. A talented scriptist will pen your message and drop it in the mailbox within 24 hours.

What’s more? You can also add confetti bombs, photos, and emojis.

Santiago and his wife Alexis started Punkpost to rebel against Facebook happy birthdays and SMS love notes. They want to to bring freedom, fun, and collaboration back to tangible written communication. So they created an app and invoked a community of artists to make mailing cards relevant to today’s interconnected societies.
