Why do a company history book?

A company history book celebrating 50 years

Company leaders often approach us considering a corporate history project.

Somewhere within them, they understand that there is some value to capturing their story, but are not always entirely sold on the idea.

Indeed, capturing your company’s history takes time, necessitates a proactive contribution at several levels of the corporate structure, and we can almost hear the executive or founder consider, ‘Is this really worth it?’

Put otherwise, how else might you measure the value of a company history book?

The only way we could answer that question is by sharing with you in what ways our books have previously been used:

To Pay Tribute to Founding, or Long-Serving Members

  • What do you get for an executive who has given so much of him/herself to the company? Our packages are beautifully crafted and double as unique corporate and retirement gifts.

To Promote Long-Term Growth

  • Our unearthing and management of archival material give your marketing team the long perspective, ensuring brand integrity over time, as well as providing them with genuine media content that can be used, such as for promotional purposes;

  • We help you share - in beautiful ways - the human dimensions that define your company, thus ensuring you make a powerful impression and gain a significant competitive advantage over your rivals;

To Promote Organizational Culture and Pride

  • Motivate and inspire employee and client loyalty by imparting history, values and challenges.

  • Your origin Story can serve both as part of a road map as well as a moral compass. Keeping that story alive, keeping it true, and keeping it relevant – these are but some of the challenges mature businesses contend with. 

So, in light of the above, ‘How much is your company’s history worth? In our experience, some things simply cannot be quantified.
