What is Letterbox?

Letterbox Birmingham is the creation of lifestyle editor and writer Laurie Prescott. Originally created as the 'go-to' website for the style-smart women of the West Midlands, in 2016 Laurie linked up with the team behind the city's foremost 'What's On' e-magazine I Choose Birmingham, to launch Bell & Smokey as a free, multi-platform email. In early 2018, Bell & Smokey became Letterbox Birmingham.

Covering four key cornerstones of interest (style, culture, travel and trends), the digital glossy hits thousands of inboxes fortnightly on Tuesdays at midday, boasting a slick editorial experience across desktop, tablet and smartphone.
