Preliminary Inventory of the J. Walter Thompson Company. Frankfurt Office. Burkhard Schwarz Papers, circa 1973-1989
Correspondence, personnel files, financial summaries, client files,
and files of prospects and new business contacts that detail the business
activities of the J. Walter Thompson Co.'s Frankfurt Office and Burkhard
Schwarz's work there (17,000 items, 22.7 linear feet, ca. 1973-1989).
Correspondence includes discussion of the company's reorganization in 1986 and
attempts at collaboration with affiliated offices (e.g. Hill and Knowlton).
Clients include Nestlé, Kodak, Burger King, Ford, Sunlicht, Elida, Kellogg, and
DeBeers. Other material includes complete copies of lectures on business issues
by JWT associates and others; JWT's 3 Year Plans (for the 1980s); and minutes
and proceedings from European advertising symposia, both JWT specific (e.g.
Managers Monthly Assessment, European Managers Meeting) and industry-wide (e.g.
Davos, EPCOT). Most of the material is in German, but many files contain some
English, especially correspondence with other JWT offices, symposia, and
general JWT memoranda. Accessioned as part of the J. Walter Thompson Company,
Frankfurt Office Records, 1959-1991 and undated (96-009). Acquired as part of
the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising, and Marketing History.
