Budco, Highland Park, Mich.; LithExcel, Albuquerque, N.M.; and CCG Marketing Solutions, West Caldwell, N.J., all engaged Xerox executives at their educational seminars. Xerox’s Premier Partners program is a global print network of leading digital print providers, totaling nearly 800 members from 48 countries.
 
“Budco, LithExcel and CCG Marketing Solutions share with us a passion for educating creatives about ways that digital printing can improve their clients’ businesses,” said Bob Wagner, vice president of the Creative Services Business and the Premier Partners Program, Xerox. “These were very positive meetings, with nearly everyone recognizing potential benefits from deploying digital print.”
 
The Budco event, “The Digital School That Rocks”, was held Sept. 16, targeting representatives from the area’s advertising agencies. Gavin Jordan-Smith, vice president and general manager, Worldwide Commercial Print Industry, Xerox, presented on urban myths commonly associated with digital printing.
