A good newsletter divulges news with art as well as clarity. Whether assigning and managing creatives (writers, photographers, graphic designers, etc.), managing the publication process, or the board of directors, creating newsletters takes a certain temperment and passion. Below you can see some examples of where The Iris Company was deeply involved in creation, management and execution.
The Leader was an 8-page quarterly newsletter for a non-profit that we expanded to 32 pages.

Another non-profit, The Capital Network, wanted a nice-looking newsletter that would keep its constituents -- venture capitalists and other technology investors -- interested and involved.
The TIRIS News sample was for a periodic company-sponsored newsletter on RFID.
