A herstory of public relations: Teresa Dorn, from Scott Cutlip to Burson-Marsteller Europe (1974-1995)

Resumen:
This research concentrates on Teresa Dorn's contributions to the history/ herstory of public relations through the analysis of her first 20 years in the profession, 15 of which were devoted to making Burson-Marsteller a prominent multinational company in Spain and Europe. The study explores the process of how Burson-Marsteller became one of the top consultancies in a country with a newly established democracy through the report of a life history. This methodology leads to a better understanding of when, why, and how the first international consultancy was settled in Spain and succeeded under the guidance of an American female practitioner.
