1. An automated communication design analysis and construction system, comprising:
one or more intelligent communication design servers, comprising:
a cross-recipient group analysis module configured to identify behaviors across-recipients, which include identification of static global objects that are invariant between recipients, data variables, and variable global objects that vary between recipients in normalized intermediate format files;
a zone-classification module configured to automatically identify zones in the normalized intermediate format files according to text objects, logos, and image objects, wherein the zone-classification module is configured to classify the zones into zone types based on behaviors across-recipients; and
an intelligent communication content learning and constructing engine configured to construct standard communication design files at least in part based on the zones and the zone types;
a communication resource allocation server configured to send the standard communication design files to one or more product fulfillment centers; and
a data storage configured to store the standard communication design files and to store standard content for a zone type, wherein the standard content is based on at least one of branding, legal, and regulatory requirements,
wherein communications to be transmitted to the recipients are generated based on the standard communication design files.
