A highly versatile and well respected organization, it has crafted advertising and marketing solutions for many organizations throughout the United States, including more than 20 large-scale publishing projects for clients such as Arrow International, Penn State Berks, A College of The Pennsylvania State University, Eagleville Hospital, Sovereign Bancorp, Caron Treatment Centers and the Freedman Gallery of Albright College.
Susan Shelly, a member of the Niemczyk Hoffmann team, is also a freelance writer and editor who has written, co-written, researched or contributed to more than 30 published books on topics ranging from health issues to personal finances. A former newspaper reporter and columnist, she continues to write for magazines, journals and online publications. In 1998 she was hired to research and help write the history of the apparel industry giant, VF Corporation. After completing that notable project, Shelly teamed up with Hoffmann and Niemczyk to pair her research and writing skills with the talents of graphic design and business professionals. Company Heritage Books was founded as a result of that partnership.
