Middle market companies have great stories to tell. Those stories can help promote their brand, recruit top talent and build a return with purpose in their communities.

Some of our greatest business stories read like real cinematic feasts. And they come from manufacturers.

As a corporate storyteller and copywriter, words are my playground. I would flip through our 30,000-pound, hard-covered dictionary as a child, my finger landing on random words. This is how I learned the word "philoprogenitiveness" (it means a love for one's offspring) at age seven. (My offspring, by the way, cringe when I share this quirky childhood indulgence😂.)
