One year ago, one of my (Kori Heuss) customers told me I was right.

Being me, I added this to the calendar to mark the day and promptly forgot about it.

Today, this was hand delivered!

I love people!

First conversation of the day:

Meagan: What projects are you churning through today?

Kori: Today is writing heavy: A marketing plan for a customer, social media posts for people for the month, a grant submission. . .

Meagan: I'm making sweatshirts for geese!

Meagan is cooler than I (Kori Heuss). So much cooler.

We truly enjoy getting to work with good people doing meaningful work, and the Crisco team in Cincinnati is a wonderful example of that.

It was a pleasure to design and produce these St. Patrick’s Day shirts for their team. There’s something special about seeing a group come together, have fun, and celebrate the people who make an organization what it is every day.

From Cincinnati to Ames, it’s a reminder that relationships can stretch a long way — and that thoughtful, hardworking teams exist everywhere.

Thank you to everyone at Crisco- B&G Foods - Cincinnati Crisco Plant for letting us be a small part of your celebration!

Heuss Printing has a social once a month. It's a chance for us to connect outside of the pressure of deadlines and the typical communication of "I need this now" that we do in each other's areas. Sometimes the social is a drink on the dock, sometimes it's bowling. This month, we spent time together volunteering Food At First, who serves a hot meal every day of the week with the help of volunteers. We got to clean ovens, wash floors, roll silverware, sort food donations and more! Take a look at this good lookin' team!

Every day we get a front row seat to the ideas people are building.

A new business owner printing their first set of business cards.
A nonprofit preparing materials for a fundraiser.
A team ordering shirts for an event they’ve been planning for months.
A company updating signage because they’ve grown and need more space.

Sometimes it’s a simple project. Sometimes it’s a big one. But almost every time there’s a story behind it.

At Heuss, we get to help bring those ideas into the world — whether that’s through design, print, apparel, promotional items, banners, signage, or mailing projects that help organizations reach the right people.

The best part of this work is watching our customers build something meaningful and knowing we get to play a small role in helping it happen.

If you ever need someone to bounce ideas off of, talk through options, or help figure out how to make a project work, we’re always happy to help.

That’s the part of the job we love the most.
