ATLANTA, Ga. — Corporate and organizational custom publishing expert Bookhouse Group has the privilege of being selected as publisher for the one-hundred-year commemorative book of BDO Seidman, LLP (www.bdo.com), one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. The firm evaluated a group of competitive bids before choosing the twenty-year provider of museum quality history books to begin its project in June for delivery by September 2010.
“We are honored by BDO Seidman’s decision expressing its confidence in our qualifications,” said Bookhouse Group founder and custom-publishing expert Rob Levin, “Our role is to deliver a corporate history that ensures its centennial corporate observance will resonate, and not be limited to an isolated date or geography. This book is destined to become a treasured individual possession, fulfilling the intent of its commemorative investment.”
Organizations approaching watermark anniversaries, such as a 10-year, 25-year or 100-year increment often want to refresh their image, as well as recount their story and reinforce their vision. Creating a commemorative history book, complete with unique current photography and written content, not only creates a centerpiece for the observance, but supplies all the elements needed to update web site content, marketing collateral and other external communications.
The opportunity to integrate the history’s elements into a variety of multi-media formats not only extends its reach, but also deepens its marketing value, according to Levin.
For the history of BDO Seidman, Bookhouse commissioned writer Alan Axelrod, Ph.D., whose many business and history books, including several bestsellers, made him uniquely qualified for this project.
