firms from attempting to recapture the feel-good vibe of the ’60s.
Witness Rosica Mulhern & Associates, a well-regarded New Jersey agency

The firm’s ’corporate coffee house,’ replete with tea and games like
backgammon, has proved a big hit with employees and clients, one of whom
(a representative from the Bergen County United Way) freely sang along

’It was a great way to stimulate creativity in the office,’ said Sue
Schuler, who cut off our line of questioning by quickly responding, ’No,
