For the holidays, the team at William Joseph Communications set out to do something eye-catching and new that would highlight our clients' stories and successes. We thought to ourselves: what better way to tell a story…than to write a story and put it in a book? So, that's exactly what we did! You can follow the link below to read our heartwarming holiday story, "A Curious Invitation: Braving the Unknown", today. And if you keep an eye on our socials and newsletters, you may soon see news of more to come...   https://media.williamjoseph.com/
