Are you seeking a permanent and meaningful way to promote your company or celebrate an historical milestone such as an anniversary or the retirement of a founder? A corporate history captures people’s interest and creates enthusiasm for your company from clients and the public. Company histories also inspire loyalty in your employees, cultivating pride for your firm’s roots, heritage, and achievements. Besides – it’s just a good story!
Your organization’s history is priceless. Whether you founded a family-owned business and wish to pass along a written legacy to your heirs, or you lead a major corporation and want to document its heritage – it’s important to preserve your company’s rich history for the public, your customers, and current and future generations of employees. The years of effort have made your business what it is today, and your journey has led to innovations and countless professional accomplishments. You’ve overcome obstacles, met challenges head-on, and made contributions to your industry and the marketplace. Let us help you recover and share those stories that form the essence of your organization.
Here are some ideas for the types of projects we can tackle for your organization:
- Corporate History Books – Capture and present your company’s heritage with publications ranging from concise and simply-illustrated booklets to full-length history books.
- Corporate Anniversary Literature – Commemorate important milestones with literature or multimedia material related to those significant events.
- Founder biographies – Narrate the story of your company through the lens of the person or people who founded it.
- Corporate History Exhibits – Enhance your lobby or other public spaces with attractive displays that present your company’s history and introduce visitors to the people who contributed to your company’s success.
- Oral Histories – Record and preserve the stories and recollections of the people who have made your company great.
- Historical Content for Collateral Materials – Include historical text in literature such as brochures, pamphlets, reports, and presentation documents.
- Publications and Media – Present your history as a series of articles for trade journals, industry magazines, or other business publications.
- Website Content – Add historical timelines, text with illustrations, and even audio-visual resources recounting your company’s history on your website and in social media campaigns
- Corporate Archives – Improve access to your documents, information, and artifacts while preserving historic originals.
Even if you are a small entity such as a school, restaurant, shop, or entertainment group, a history can add allure to your business. Customers love learning more about who they patronize – even the history of the building that houses your business can captivate their interest. A heightened level of interest naturally equates to more patronage!
From books and brochures, to website content, video documentaries, oral history projects, and interpretive exhibits, we can help you select the right media to most effectively tell your stories. We will gather important documents and visuals from inside and outside of your organization and will interview stakeholders currently and previously associated with your company to uncover memories and insights. Finally, we will weave together the text, imagery, and if appropriate, multimedia content, to tell your unique story.
So, whether you need a book-length history, a web timeline, corporate exhibit, or archives collected and preserved we can help. Contact Us.
