Edward G. Dorn & Associates, Inc. was founded in 1971 by Edward G. Dorn II. As the Marketing Director for International Products Manufacturing (IPM), Dorn recognized a need for automotive manufacturers to more effectively market product technologies nationwide. His concept of providing dynamic cutaway product schematics led to his founding of the agency. Edward G. Dorn & Associates, Inc. soon became the agency of choice for some of Chicago’s largest automotive companies.

With the strength in the automotive industries, Dorn quickly built and expanded to other markets adding Robert Bosch, GE, Borg Warner, Gould, IPM and CR Industries to its diverse client base. Dorn continued to be a consistent pioneer within the advertising and marketing industry by expanding his vision into computer technology. This firmly positioned the agency within the Chicagoland area and by 1985 Dorn was servicing local and nationwide brands within multiple industries including Food, Healthcare and Financial for clients such as Bridgford Foods, Baxter Healthcare and Household Bank.

In 1999, agency founder Edward G. Dorn II passed his vision onto co-founder Cecilia Dorn and the second generation of DORN marketers James and Kathy. They continue their father’s vision and have expanded the agencies expertise into servicing the Sporting Goods industry as well as creating the DORN Interactive division to handle their clients interactive needs.
