Shelley Spector Biography

Shelley J. Spector, founder/director of the Museum of Public Relations, has consistently been cited as one of the "most innovative" PR professionals in the U.S. With nearly 40 years experience, she has also edited four books, is an adjunct professor, and an internationally known speaker on the influence of PR on history.

She was a disciple of Edward Bernays, the "father" of the PR field, and double nephew of Sigmund Freud.

She founded the non profit Museum of Public Relations in 1997 as the world's first and only museum for the field. The Museum's collection of 5k artifacts spans more than 200 years. Its events, such as Black PR History, is intended to attract more diverse students into the field.

In 1991, she founded and still runs a corporate PR agency, working for such companies as AT&T, HP, Phillips, Bank of America, and other brands. Her agency has won more than 45 campaign awards.

Shelley Spector Speaking Topics

  • Using Public Relations for the Public Good: activating positive change through communications

    Have you ever dreamed of changing the world? Or even just one part of it...whether your workplace, your industry, or your favorite cause? By learning a few basic communications concepts, you and your company can begin the journey of creating positive change.

    Attendee Results:

    • To understand Freud's concepts about "crowd psychology" and how to manage it
    • To recognize the power of making news and using it to affect public opinion
    • To use history's social movements as lessons for today

    Throughout history, nearly every social movement has been launched with the same three things: conviction, community and persuasive communications. Whether it's Frederick Douglass' North Star newspaper; Alice Paul's interview in the Suffragist; or Betty Friedan's earth-shattering Feminine Mystique, all these communications managed to spark a social movement and fire up thousands. You can look even further back to examine the impact of Thomas Paine's Common Sense; or reports from the Gold Rush; or the turn-of-the century movement to join labor unions.

    While these are all distinct milestones in US history, they were all successful because of a profound communications strategy designed especially for the public good. Interestingly, these campaigns used the same public relations strategies that professionals use today-• without the technology, of course.
