Dr. Frank Luntz is one of the most honored communication professionals in America today. Time magazine named him one of “50 of America’s most promising leaders aged 40 and under” and he is the “hottest pollster” in America according to the Boston Globe. Frank was named one of the four “Top Research Minds” by Business Week and was the winner of the coveted Washington Post “Crystal Ball” award for being the most accurate pundit in 1992. Frank wrote, supervised, and conducted more than 500 surveys, focus groups and Instant Response sessions for corporate and public affairs clients in eight countries since forming his company in 1992. A dozen Fortune 500 companies use Dr. Luntz for communication guidance, from Merrill Lynch to Federal Express, from AT&T to Mirage Resorts. Frank worked with Internet innovators like Ebay, MP3.com and 1-800-Flowers.com, as well as some of the largest business associations, from the Chamber of Commerce to the National Association of Manufacturers to the National Federation of Independent Business. The “Instant Response” focus group technique Frank pioneered was profiled on 60 Minutes in 1998. He was a guest on Meet the Press, This Week with David Brinkley, Crossfire, Capital Gang, The Jim Lehrer Newshour, The Montel Williams Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Charlie Rose Show, Politically Incorrect, and Hardball with Chris Matthews. Dr. Luntz was the first pollster to predict a Republican majority in 1994 on John McLaughlin’s TV show One on One. More media outlets turn to Dr. Luntz for polling and consulting than to any other political pollster. In the 2000 election cycle, Frank conducted almost two dozen focus groups for MSNBC and CNBC, including live sessions following each night of both party conventions and presidential debates. He was a primary night and election night commentator for The News with Brian Williams on MSNBC. Frank also moderated the first-ever focus group for ABC’s This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts. Over the past four years, Frank conducted sessions for all three networks and two of the three cable news channels. Previously, he conducted focus groups for The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, PBS, and the BBC. When he is not consulting, Dr. Luntz can usually be found in front of a classroom. From 1989 until 1996, he was an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He also taught at Harvard and George Washington University. In addition, Frank lectured at two dozen colleges and universities over the past five years. An accomplished author, he wrote op-ed pieces for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Frank received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and political science from the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated with honors, and was named a Thouron Fellow. He received his Doctorate in Politics at the age of 25 from Oxford University. He spoke for 24 straight hours as part of the Oxford Union Society’s Guinness World Book of Records debate. In the spring of 1993, Frank was named a Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics, the second youngest individual ever to receive this honor.
