Tony Schwartz created commercials for over four hundred corporations, designed sound for sixteen Broadway shows, and was a four-time winner at the Cannes Film festival. For more than thirty years, he produced and hosted a weekly radio show, Around New York, on WNYC. As a specialist in political media, he produced television and radio commercials for the campaigns of two U.S. Presidents, as well as hundreds of candidates at all levels of government. He was the creator of the first anti-smoking ad, the first ads to use voices of real children (instead of adult actors), and Daisy, the 1964 commercial for President Johnson that remains the most talked-about political ad in television history. A recipient of three honorary doctorates, Schwartz lectured worldwide and taught media studies at New York University, Harvard, Columbia and Fordham. He produced and recorded over a dozen commercial records; one of them, New York Taxi Driver, was among the first 100 recordings inducted into the National Recording Registry. In 2007, Schwartz’s entire body of work was acquired by the Library of Congress.
