Pioneering the “instant response” technique that dives into the intersection of communications and public opinion to deliver precise corporate and campaign data, his focus groups have become so influential in political private circles that President Barack Obama had this to say: “When Frank Luntz invites you to his focus group, you talk to his focus group.” Dr. Luntz’s public opinion work spans the globe and nearly every industry. Working for more than 50 Fortune 500 companies and CEOs, Dr. Luntz advises on issues ranging from energy to education, retail to design.
