PR Pro Marilyn Laurie and the Story of the First Earth Day

April 22nd, 2020 by

Want more evidence that the actions of one person can change the world? We offer the story of the late Marilyn Laurie, a stay-at-home mom who later became a titan of the PR world as a top communicator at AT&T. Not coincidentally, she also played a major role in organizing the first Earth Day celebrations in NYC, in 1970. Her former colleague at AT&T, Dick Martin, tells us how Laurie helped communicate about the initial Earth Day.
