The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) wanted to highlight the significant discoveries of their 17 national research laboratories and illustrate how these scientific achievements have had real consequences on American life. A coffee-table style book seemed the perfect solution.
While DOE had a list of discoveries to guide the development, they had no existing written content. Their deadline for delivery to the printer of the completed book was six weeks away.
In order to meet the “impossible” delivery deadline, MarCom Group assembled an experienced team of 30 editors, writers, designers, photographers, illustrators, graphic artists, and support staff to design and produce a 150+ page glossy, artistic, oversized compendium of 37 stories: A Decade of Discovery.
We also designed and produced promotional materials and a website to introduce the book at planned media events, press conferences, and satellite video feeds around the country and in the United Kingdom.
The book was delivered on time and below budget and generated enthusiastic response from DOE, their laboratory scientists, business and industry leaders, educators, and the general public.
