As journalists, we know the value of corporate ‘give-aways’. In today’s era of CD and DVD hand-outs, it is an ironic fact that a well-written and properly presented book is much more likely to be read, retained (and, in many cases, treasured) by the people for whom it is meant – be they customers, suppliers, media or in government. A book has shelf-life and can convey key corporate messages over a sustained period of time.

At High Frontiers Publishing, we see a story from both sides of the divide and are perfectly positioned to help shape, write and present those messages at a time of enormous change in the aerospace sector.

As one senior executive of the Boeing Company said recently: “If we want to transform the aerospace industry, we cannot be content with an evolutionary approach. We have to choose between being incrementalists, content simply to upgrade airplanes … or … becoming innovators … creating the next quantum leap that will mark the dawn of a whole new era in aerospace.”

We agree. We also know that each and every aerospace company has left its own unique set of footprints in the world of aviation and has an exciting story to tell at this key ‘inflection point’ in the industry’s history.

Let us help tell yours via one of the following services:

• Corporate Books - We can highlight a valued aspect of your business, from a relationship with a customer or supplier, to a unique product, and package the information in book form - soft or hardcover. See our history (right) of the special relationship between Lockheed Martin and Marshall Aerospace on the C-130 Hercules as a typical example of our work

• Event-based Publications - Let us work with you to capitalise on forthcoming events and anniversaries in the aviation calendar. We do the research and the writing and can give help in advising on the optimum time to publish for the maximum marketing impact
  
  
• Innovation Audits - Science and technology are the building blocks of tomorrow’s aerospace industry. We can work with you to identify and write about key aspects of your S&T base and package the data in either book or brochure format or for websites. There is no greater measure of an aerospace company in today’s pivotal business climate than its power to innovate. Let us benchmark your skills as an innovator and package the results in a dynamic, informative and visually exciting way
  
  
• Company Histories - If you’ve never documented the history of your company, our understanding of modern technology and our feel for the past make us uniquely qualified to chart and publish its heritage and product base for you. Most global aerospace companies have a century’s worth of history under their belts, much of it untold. We know the value of corporate legacies and their relevance to your brand. In the right cases, we can even work with leading publishers to bring aerospace stories to a wide commercial readership via the bookstores

All our data can be supplied either in soft- or hard-copy format, giving you the flexibility to publish as you wish.

However, our turnkey service, developed in conjunction with our graphic design and publishing partner, London-based Essential Works, means we are geared to supply books and brochures of the highest quality direct to your door, anywhere in the world.
