The Siegfried Dunlay business turns twelve this year. And we proudly join a long list of other notable twelves found at the end of this letter! In fact on 12.12.12 this year, we took special note of the magic that the last repeating-number date of the century represented our history as a consulting team. While we do believe in magic, we also believe there are dozens of ways and dozens of reasons to partner with Siegfried Dunlay this year.

We launch into the new year eager to share a bit of the Siegfried Dunlay magic with you.

The work we have touched in 2012 has been meaningful for us and successful for our clients. We continue to be a reliable partner as our clients drive growth agendas and work through business challenges. We have had many opportunities to deliver our consulting expertise again this year. Our clients continue to be as diverse as our work…from large, multi-billion dollar global companies to small privately-held businesses. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve done:

• Created new internal and external brand strategies
• Designed a corporate exhibit highlighting technology in a global company
• Conducted customer focus groups for a business going through significant change
• Helped a variety of senior leaders move up their corporate ladder through our multi-month communication coaching programs
• Drove and conducted research strategy for a potential business launch in China
• Led Board meeting strategies for several clients
• Created a variety of presentations, from executive leadership to sales and corporate capabilities presentation
• Produced a quarterly global employee newsletter translated into 11 languages
• Recruited for a vice president of communications for a global, public company
• Wrote a variety of press releases; speeches; brochures and manuals
• Supported a global customer conference with onsite presentation creation and delivery feedback

We send each of you a big virtual thanks in the form of a dozen bright red roses for your partnership in 2012, and we hope to continue our work with you this year. If you need a partner on a big project, or a small one, we’re here, and we’re enthusiastic. We can provide communications counsel and implement strategies to drive success for your company and your leaders.

Warmly,

Barbara and Janell
