Every milestone anniversary is different. So is every Anniversary Company engagement.
Some organizations need help developing an anniversary strategy. Others need an experienced partner to manage an entire anniversary campaign. And some need specialized expertise for a specific project, such as historical research, employee engagement, a history video, an anniversary event, or preserving company archives.
We build the right team and level of support around your goals, internal resources, timeline, and budget.
A successful anniversary starts with deciding what the milestone should accomplish.
We help leadership and cross-functional teams define anniversary goals, identify key audiences, developthemes and messages, evaluate ideas, establish priorities, and create a practical roadmap for theanniversary year.
Our Fire Starter service helps organizations clarify goals, identify opportunities, and build an actionable anniversary plan they can implement internally.
Anniversary initiatives often involve multiple departments, outside partners, and projects happening at the same time.
We can serve as the central point of coordination — managing the overall project plan, anniversary calendar, budget, meetings, approvals, vendors, and deliverables so your internal team can stay focused on its day-to-day responsibilities.
Every organization has a history, but turning decades of documents, photographs, memories, andmilestones into a compelling story takes research and perspective.
Our historical researchers and writers uncover the people, decisions, achievements, and turning points that shaped your organization and develop content that can support anniversary books, websites, exhibits, videos, communications, and other initiatives.
An anniversary is often the catalyst for finally organizing and preserving important historical materials.
We help organizations identify, collect, organize, digitize, and catalog photographs, documents, recordings, artifacts, and other historical assets so they can be used during the anniversary and preserved for the future.
Some of your organization's most valuable history exists only in people's memories.
We help capture the experiences of founders, leaders, longtime employees, retirees, customers, and community partners through professionally planned and recorded oral-history interviews.
Employees shouldn't simply hear about the anniversary. They should have opportunities to be part of it.
We develop anniversary initiatives that recognize employees and retirees, collect stories and memories, reinforce organizational culture, encourage participation, and connect today's workforce to the organization's history and future.
Bring your organization's history to life through physical and digital experiences.
We help develop anniversary timelines, history walls, exhibits, portable displays, event installations, and digital experiences that transform photographs, artifacts, milestones, and stories into content people can explore.
Anniversary videos combine history, people, imagery, and storytelling in a format that can reach audiences throughout the anniversary year and beyond.
We help develop the story, identify interview subjects and historical materials, coordinate productionresources, and manage the process from concept through completion.
A milestone anniversary can celebrate the organization while also creating meaningful impact in the communities it serves.
We help develop community service projects, philanthropic initiatives, partnerships, and other anniversary programs that connect your organization's history and values with its community.
Yes, we plan celebrations — but the best anniversary events do more than mark a date.
Through our relationship with Special D Events, we plan employee celebrations, customer and donor events, galas, open houses, executive receptions, community events, and other milestone experiences designed around the larger goals and story of the anniversary.
An anniversary may require strategists, project managers, historical researchers, archivists, writers, designers, event planners, videographers, producers, photographers, printers, digital specialists, and other experts.
You don't need to find and manage all of those resources yourself.
The Anniversary Company assembles and coordinates the right team for your anniversary — whether you need help with one project or an experienced partner to manage the entire initiative.
