maslansky + partners (m+p) is a communications consultancy based in New York, NY.[1] The firm focuses exclusively on the effective use of language and frequently takes part in mainstream media panels on communication. Their work to reframe conversations through lexicon development and testing has been prominently used by non-profits within the disabilities community,[2] the Republican Party (United States) in the political sphere,[3] and by multiple nonpartisan organizations and corporations (most notably in working to simplify the lexicon of the financial industry).[4][5]
Firm CEO, Michael Maslansky, and firm Partner, Lee Carter are frequent commentators on the use of effective language in leading news outlets including Forbes,[6] CNN,[7] FOX News,[8] Current TV,[9] Entrepreneur,[10] and others.
History
m+p was founded by Frank Luntz and Michael Maslansky (author of the Language of Trust) in 1992,[11] after both served as pollsters for the Ross Perot presidential campaign.[12] In 1994, the firm worked with house minority leader Newt Gingrich to develop a messaging platform known as the Contract with America.[13] In 2005, the firm was acquired by the Omnicom Group and has maintained a focus on nonpartisan messaging work with nonprofits and industries from pharma, to finance, to utilities, and others.
