In the mid '60s, Tom Saffen at company headquarters in Rochester hired a team of young copywriters and art directors to create some of the greatest advertising and sales promotion pieces in the history of corporate communications at the time. Xerox Team Advertising made history in the seven short years they were together believing that great advertising takes risk. This team, along with its New York advertising agency (PKL), lived by this belief, its work in periodicals highlighted today. Pictured at a reunion years later at Bill's Gay Nineties, a naughty speakeasy in NYC from the original team are left to right the late Randy Stover, the late Tom Lowes, the late Michael Barkman, Bill Smith and up front, Richie Giurlando. We had one blast at Xerox.
