The Verizon Story

“The Verizon Story Museum is about our unified purpose as an organization. It’s about celebrating our history and our place at the forefront of communications and technology.”
— Jim Gerace, Chief Communications Officer

While the Verizon we know is just over 20 years old, its legacy is inextricably tied to the many telecommunications companies that came before it—and even the history of human communication at large. To preserve this history — as well as the legacy Verizon is working to build every day — we created the Verizon Story corporate museum and a complimentary web-based digital museum. 

Key Stats 

• 5 digital interactive exhibits installed in Verizon’s Basking Ridge HQ 

• 1,455 square feet 

• Incorporates over 400 images and videos from Verizon’s archives and history 

• Digital museum web site includes online versions of museum content as well as exclusive web-only in-depth stories

When COVID hit, we had to pivot. What good is a museum if no one is around to see it? Our strategy moved online as we took all of the amazing content available on-site and turned it into an interactive experience accessible from anywhere. We also gave the site its own unique spin with curated web-only stories based on museum content added twice a month.
