[Through her certification and her involvement in WBENC events] Kerry Hammer . . . of Hammer Press attracted the attention of some major buyers. [WBENC] Conference co-sponsor Altria followed up by researching her firm and selecting Hammer Press to print its supplier diversity brochure. She has also printed . . . brochures for Pfizer, HBO and Time Warner.
