Office Files Subseries, 1980s-2003 and undated

Scope and content:

Correspondence, clippings, listings and printed materials relating to creative competitions, creative standards, databases (such as Adbank) and information technology, as well as files relating to executives such as John Fawcett, supporting materials for annual reports and departmental events. The files include calls for submissions, informational brochures and awards booklets for many of the major advertising industry awards competitions, as well as correspondence and submission forms for Bates's own "Best of Bates" competitions. Some of the images in the awards booklets represent Bates award-winning entries, but there is little documentation about the actual entry submissions themselves, nor are the actual submission procedures for external awards competitions well-documented here. Included is a run of the Creative Department's newsletter Shout! Arranged alphabetically. Therein, printed materials are further arranged chronologically.
