Corporate Heritage
Programs
ORDER from Chaos. KNOWLEDGE from Mystery. RELIEF from Frustration.
Today's corporations need a straightforward plan to ensure their corporate heritage- the paper and data records, photographs and other audiovisual media, and items such as artworks, awards, and other objects key to telling their stories- are retained and effectively managed to ensure they provide many lifetimes of service. Sadly, archival expertise is rarely available in-house. That's where we come in.
Heritage collections require more than simple storage to survive.
Self-evident as this statement may seem, the majority of permanent corporate heritage collections are stored in a highly risky and damaging environment- the workday office. Fluctuating heat and humidity, and the assault of dust and other contaminants damage these assets, but an even greater danger exists- no lock on the door, no one in charge of the collection. In times of transition- mergers, departmental reorganization, slowdowns- all too many important records and artifacts wind up in dumpsters. Do you know who is responsible for YOUR collection?
Corporate media costs too much to create to just let it lie around- Put it back to work.
In today’s rapidly diversifying media environment, seizing every advantage is important. Ensuring video and film projects take advantage of new distribution channels and create multiple income streams makes sound business sense. In order to deliver optimum utility from all your media assets, it is important to understand the status of your existing collections.
With the proper tools, advice and planning, existing media can be put back to work: expressing bold vision, proclaiming a proud heritage, or simply fulfilling a desire for cold, hard cash. Contact us today for a free on-site inspection and learn how SummitDay Media can free you from media chaos.
