Sawyer Riley Compton In The Saddle Sawyer Riley Compton In The Saddle A campaign developed by the creative forces at Sawyer Riley Compton for Pony Express Delivery Services appeared in the January issue of Communication Arts. Bart Cleveland, Senior Vice President and Creative Director for Sawyer Riley Compton stated it was extremely rewarding to see their creative efforts recognized by Communication Arts, a well respected publication in the industry. The ad uses an actual painting by Frederic Remington from the American West genre of the 1800's. It emphasizes Pony Express' extensive heritage and history. In contrast to other delivery service ads, which normally focus on facts, figures, and rate reports, Sawyer Riley Compton took a new approach to reinforce Pony Express' trustworthiness, reliability, and flexibility. Copywriter Brett Compton, Art Director Kevin Thoem, Bart Cleveland, Account Executive Paula Saunders, and Production Director Dave Rooney all contributed to the Pony Express campaign.
