You probably know Mailchimp as a handy “set it and forget it” email marketing tool.

You might even remember last year’s campaigns from Droga5 and the podcast Serial, in which people famously tried and failed to pronounce the brand’s name.

Mailchimp has, simply, outgrown its moniker. And it hopes to help other small businesses do the same by offering much more than basic email. In fact, its services now encompass everything from custom landing pages, postcards and ad campaigns to audience management.

Rather than change its own name, Mailchimp launched a new campaign called “More Than Mail” in partnership with R/GA that uses art, instead of the usual graphs and charts, to bypass the jargon and get to the core of its message: helping small businesses connect to their customers.
