Dick Martin writes about public relations, marketing, and ethics. He has authored six books and numerous articles for such publications as the Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive, and the Journal of Business Strategy. Capping a 33-year career with AT&T, from 1997 to 2003, he was Chairman of the AT&T Foundation and executive vice president responsible for the company’s public relations, employee communications and brand management worldwide. The Holmes Report called his first book, Tough Calls, one of the five best PR books published in the first decade of the 21st century and “by far the best book about the realities of working in corporate communications for a large American corporation.” A book he co-authored with Donald K. Wright – Public Relations Ethics: How to Practice PR Without Losing Your Soul – grew out of popular workshops in PR ethics that he has conducted for such organizations as the Institute for Public Relations, the Page Society, and the PRSA. His most recent book is a biography of Marilyn Laurie, his predecessor at AT&T and the first woman to join the executive committee of a Fortune 10 company. Marilyn: A Woman in Charge was published by the PRMuseum Press in September 2020. Martin was one of the first recipients of the Arthur W. Page Center’s Award for Integrity in Public Communication. He is a trustee of the Museum of Public Relations. He is married to the former Virginia Beck, creator and co-producer of “The Magic Garden,” a New York area television program for preschoolers in the 1970’s that still has some renown on YouTube . They have three grown children, four grandsons, and live in Summit, NJ, and in Washington, DC.
