Our company experienced two major exciting changes in July 2008:
- We changed our name from “Corry Publishing” to “Jameson Publishing”
- We moved our headquarters into a beautiful new (and much larger) office in Knowledge Park near the Penn State-Erie campus
 We’re equally pleased to announce some things haven’t changed. We haven’t changed ownership, personnel, or our commitment to being one of Western PA’s best employers. “Great People, Great Company, Great Opportunities” is still an accurate description of our company.
Why the name change? It’s an effort to eliminate confusion among our potential job applicants in the Erie area.
In May 1980, when our company was founded with only three employees in the small town of Corry, PA, the name “Corry Publishing” was appropriate. But since we moved our headquarters to Erie in the mid-1990s, there has been confusion among some Erieites that our office is still located 45 minutes away in Corry. We’ve grown to nearly 80 employees today and believe we can attract more applicants and grow even faster with a new name.
Why did we choose “Jameson Publishing”? Because we are a people-oriented company, we thought it would be noble to rename the company after someone who made significant contribution to its early success. Jameson Publishing honors the late James Peterson, the father of Rick and Terry Peterson, our company’s founders/owners. Jim was self-employed and a major influence on his sons both personally and professionally.
“Jameson” is a combination of “James” and “Peterson.” Also, the etymology of “Jameson” is “son of James,” so the name is also a subtle tie-in to our company’s long-time owners.
Why the move? Plain and simple, we outgrew our 15,000 square-foot headquarters and needed the nearly 23,000 square feet available at Knowledge Park. In addition, we believe
Knowledge Park provides one of the finest work atmospheres and employee amenities in the Erie area.
We’re thrilled about these changes and hope you join us in our excitement as we continue to grow and recruit more Great People.
