Collateral pieces


Printed Pieces

CERC has created collateral, from two-sided sell sheets and tri-fold brochures, to magazine-sized reports and annual reports for clients looking for pieces to mail to prospects or to distribute at trade shows and other events.
State Business Development Collateral

It had been nearly a decade since CERC last tackled the task of creating brochures for the Department of Economic and Community Development to use in talking with out-of-state, in-state and new businesses. A fresh, new look was developed that tied into television commercials, also developed by the CERC team. Three brochures resulted, and a fourth - highlighting the community development side of DECD - was later produced.

Please note that these are large PDF files.
Out-of-State Business Brochure (8.26 MB)
In-State Business Brochure (4.96 MB)
New Business Brochure (3.82 MB)
