The story not only celebrated our company but also truly connected us with our customers, associates and business partners.“ – Craig Lobson, President and CEO of Plasticom Inc.

I was bowled over by the depth of expression Barbara was able to bring to my signature story—just a short conversation, a few of my own bulleted thoughts, and I’d swear some wizard sprinkled magic all over it.
