In the summer of 1988, the year our firm was founded, we landed two very important projects: annual reports for The Washington Water Power Company (now Avista Corp.) and Hecla Mining Company. At the time, print was king and annual reports were at the top of the designer food chain—high page counts, high production values, high stakes. The completion of this year’s for NOVAGOLD was our fifty-fifth annual report since 1988, with our fifty-sixth following a few days later. In the mining sector alone, we’ve produced thirty-seven. In addition to collaborating with great clients, these reports have taken us to several locations—mostly remote—throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. While I’m not sure our experience qualifies us as annual report specialists, I can attest that, twenty-eight years later, we continue to view ARs as high-privilege projects.
