Mark J. Penn has spent over 30 years as an adviser and polling analyst to major corporations and heads of state. He has advised companies from Microsoft to BP and heads of state from U.S. President Bill Clinton to U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair to others in Asia and Latin America. He started polling after graduating Harvard and attending Columbia Law School. Time Magazine has called Penn "The Master of the Message" and The New York Times has called him "The Guru of Small Things", because of Penn’s unique ability to find and motivate niche groups in society. Penn is currently CEO of Burson Marsteller and President of Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates. His latest book is Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Today's Big Changes (Penguin 2007).
Writing with Penn is E. Kinney Zalesne, who has served as a White House Fellow and was Counsel to U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno.
