Brian and Lisa Sooy, partners in the Elyria+Cleveland, Ohio branding firm Aespire, are interviewed for the February 2008 COSE Update article Married to the Business.

Brian Sooy has contributed to The Information Design Handbook, by Jennifer Visocky-O'Grady.

The book showcases the work of more than 35 design teams from around the world in this book—"all "I wish I made that!" kind of stuff," states Visocky-O'Grady, a design professional and design educator from Cleveland, Ohio.

Lorain County Community College received recognition in the NCMPR Medallion Awards (National Council for Marketing and Public Relations), for projects created in collaboration with Aespire.
