Mark Penn [3], the worldwide CEO of the PR firm Burson-Marsteller [4], "is a man who wears many hats." In addition to being a PR executive, he's the "chief strategist to New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton [5]'s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination." Penn's also the president of the polling firm Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates [6], which "will be paid millions by the Clinton campaign." Moreover, "Burson-Marsteller is a subsidiary of WPP [7] Group, a London-based advertising and PR giant that owns many of the biggest names on K Street," including Quinn Gillespie [8], Wexler & Walker [9], Ogilvy Government Relations [10], Public Strategies [11], Dewey Square Group [12], and Hill & Knowlton [13]. Penn's boss, Howard Paster -- himself "an ex-aide to President Clinton [14] and a high-level volunteer for Hillary Clinton's campaign" -- said the WPP units are run independently, with "no risk of any conflict between clients." Penn, a long-time adviser to Microsoft [15], said he doesn't "personally" do any lobbying.
