Linda Brady launched L.B. Associates as a proprietary concern in May of 1996
with the aim to publish The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Diplomatist. In
June of the same year, she and an editor brought out their first issue followed
by two more by yearend. They conducted two projects on a contract basis that
year, which marked the beginning of Custom & Contract Publishing being the
main focus of business of the company. Gross turnover in 1996 was low by
American standards, but not bad for an infant proprietorship in 1996-India.
William Hawke joined the team in 1997 as Diplomatist Managing Editor shortly
after his marriage to Linda (now Brady-Hawke). Four editions of Diplomatist came
out that year along with three contracted publications. A fulltime marketing
person was added to the team that year.
The following nine years experienced continued upward growth, in turnover, in
the number of staffers, and in the types of clients we serve. The
firm now employs more than thirty fulltime teammates and has another twenty
empanelled writers that contribute on a contract basis.
The proprietorship, L.B. Associates, was incorporated to L.B. Associates (Pvt)
Ltd in the year 2000. The firm moved into their own commercial building in June
2006. |
