Advertising Agencies
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2008 7:56 pm
I am researching the role of advertising agencies in OTR. I began this research about 15 years ago, joining the original OTR list-serv I believe back when there were fewer available recordings and limited archival sources.
Although I have now developed a manuscript based on NBC and agency archives, I imagine there are documents, scripts, reminiscences, advertisements, and interviews out there that OTR members may know of but are not in public archives. For example, former Young & Rubicam radio executive Hubbell Robinson wrote an autobiography that was never published, I think it was titled "Wanderer in the Wasteland," and my archive searches never turned it up.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone at OTR who would like to share any knowledge about advertising agencies and OTR.
Thank you!
