Your company has a compelling and rich story that deserves to be told. And you deserve a great book that tells it well. We at Yockey Communication have helped some of America’s greatest companies tell their stories, and we’ve developed methods of research, writing and design that will allow your story to shine, capturing your legacy in a handsome and compelling way, and making sure you inspire your organization for generations to come.
Whether your book is for distribution among a small, select audience, including your company's associates, customers, suppliers and market, or if it’s destined to be distributed to the wider public; your readers’ perceptions are what ultimately matter. Yockey Communication has won design awards, as well as accolades for our unique ability to find facts which have been buried for decades in dusty archives.
Your company’s history is important, and passing on a legacy of success ensures that the contributions of everyone involved will not be forgotten, long after the current
generation has moved on. Future leaders will gain valuable insights on why decisions were made, how victories were won, and learn from the mistakes of the past. As the cliché goes, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and that’s just as true for corporations as societies. A book prolongs the guiding influence of those who have gone before. Many companies choose to produce a book to celebrate a significant milestone, for example, a centennial, or a fiftieth anniversary. A book instills pride in the achievements that got your company there, made your company a lasting story of success. It honors all the heroes, the workers, the managers, who are responsible for that greatness. And it can convey that sense of pride to everyone involved, from front-line employees to vendors up through retired employees and family members.
When your company chooses to produce a book, you open up a veritable Pandora’s box of questions. Who will write it? What will it look like? Who will read it? Not to mention the finer points of actually producing a book: paper choices, indexing, font choices, case-wrapping – the list could go on and on. It’s a maze that can be navigated easily with a company who specializes in books for businesses. We’ve had experience in other media, and based on those experiences, we’ve learned that there is simply no better way to preserve your history than a book.We now have a single repository for facts cleaned from over 100 years of data. This is a way to pass down our legacy, our values and the lessons we’ve learned to those who will be running this company years from now…Yockey Communication came through with flying colors, delivering our book on schedule and exceeding expectations.
