SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 11, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Michael Patrick Partners announced today that it has created a series of how-to marketing publications for industry professionals. The collection includes five volumes offered free through the company’s website.

Best known for developing the E*TRADE identity, the San Francisco design studio released the information to commemorate its 40th anniversary.

The 32-page abstracts, originally generated for the studio’s clients, focus on process intricacies of annual report, brand identity and package design assignments for mainstream markets. An additional set of resources is also available to the education market that examine admission enrollment and fundraising campaign tactics.

Content is presented in a textbook approach that veteran to junior-level professionals will find helpful for planning, scheduling, writing, designing and producing intricate communications tasks more easily.

Penned by Duane Michael Maidens — Michael Patrick Partners’ co-founder — the series was created during the past two years as project management reference tools.

Maidens stated: “COVID presented unforeseen problems for our clients. Marketing departments are stretched thin — people are taking on responsibilities in areas where they have limited experience. The goal was to share our expertise to assist organizations implement complex assignments with confidence.
