Collection Overview

The J. Walter Thompson Company Publications Collection spans the years 1887 to 2005 and includes printed materials produced by the various domestic offices, partners, subsidiaries and related firms of the J. Walter Thompson Co. (JWT). Domestic offices include Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, New York and San Francisco. International materials originate primarily from the London Office, but other offices in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, India, South Africa, and Spain are also represented. The main subsidiaries and related firms represented in the collection include the British Market Research Bureau; Brouillard Communications, Inc.; Hill & Knowlton; Lord, Geller, Federico, Einstein; and the Simmons Market Research Bureau. Materials include promotional pamphlets, informational bulletins, regional market analyses, research reports, and industry overviews, as well as corporate annual reports, office directories and aggregate client lists. The oldest materials are domestic rather than international. Materials are primarily in English, but several other languages are also represented.
The collection is organized into four series: Corporate Publications, Domestic Publications, International Publications, and Subsidiaries and Related Firms Publications.
The Corporate Publications Series includes published documents relating to the organizational and corporate life of the agency. The series is organized into seven subseries--Worldwide Office Address Lists, Client Lists, Financial and Stockholder Reports, JWT Group Reports, Worldwide Office Fact Books, Profile Books, and Telephone Directories. Most of these subseries are self-explanatory. Both the JWT Group Reports and the Financial and Stockholder Reports include annual and quarterly reports sent out to stockholders as well as 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (JWT reorganized as the JWT Group in 1980, and maintained that name until it became part of the WPP Group in 1986). Both the Worldwide Office Fact Books and the Profile Books contain summary information about JWT's structure, client base, offices and billings for particular years.
The Domestic Publications Series include materials published in the U.S. The series is organized into General Publications, Interurbia, and Individual Offices Publications. General Publications include materials published by the main headquarters in New York and pertain to broad issues of interest throughout the company, such as employee training, research reports, regional market surveys and informational bulletins. Interurbia was a special series of reports and presentations begun in the 1950s, in which JWT sought to address the rapid expansion of metropolitan areas in the United States. Individual Offices Publications include materials published by specific JWT offices that address issues of concern to that office or its clients. Preceding the container list of publications are folders that contain correspondence relating to publications.
The International Publications Series includes material published outside the U.S. by JWT's international offices. The bulk of materials come from the London office, but other offices are also represented.
The Subsidiaries and Related Firms Series includes publications originating with JWT's subsidiaries, such as Brouillard Communications and the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB), as well as from firms with which JWT had close working relationships at one time, such as the Simmons Market Research Bureau, after which JWT modelled the BMRB.
