Frank Luntz’s Speech Topics

  • Election 2024: What Americans Really Want

    A behind-the-scenes look at Biden, Trump, a potential third party, and all the candidates, issues, indictments, and debates that are already shaping the most consequential election in 50 years.

  • What’s REALLY on the Mind of America

    Most public opinion experts can only tell you what they think is on the minds of ordinary Americans, but Dr. Frank Luntz lets ordinary Americans speak for themselves. Through thousands of hours of intense direct response/focus group dial testing, Dr. Luntz has his fingers on the pulse of every issue Americans talk about today. Dr. Luntz will provide expert insight and analysis that can help you, the business leader, the politician, or just the average citizen, understand the thoughts and feelings of the average American.

  • It’s Not What You Say, It’s What People Hear

    What’s behind winning campaign slogans and career-ending political blunders? Why do some speeches and advertising campaigns resonate and endure while others are so quickly forgotten? The answers lie in the way words are used to influence and motivate, the way they connect thought and emotion. In this presentation, based on his book Words that Work, Dr. Frank Luntz, widely recognized pollster and one of the most honored communication professionals in America today, not only raises the curtain on the art effective language, but also offers priceless insight on how to find and use the right words to get what you want out of life. Luntz’s engaging and humorous presentation shows you how to transform simple ideas into an effective language arsenal for the war of perception we all wage each and every day.

    From Dr. Luntz you’ll learn:

    • What CEOs need to say to please shareholders, avoid strikes and communicate effectively with customers
    • How the right language can help solidify your brand and better market your organization
    • How “privatization” killed Social Security reform and how “personalization” can bring it back.
    • The 21 best words for the 21st Century, and the 21 political words you should never say again …ever
  • Focus on Your Organization

    Organizations worry about their bottom line, but sometimes forget that bottom lines are often affected by how their customers and vendors perceive their products or services. And many organizations or companies ignore this – at their peril. But changing attitudes and opinions is difficult. That is where renowned pollster Frank Luntz comes in. Luntz will bring your customers to you. Live. He can conduct a focus group in front of any size audience. There is perhaps no better way to “get employees on board” than to let them listen directly to what their customers think. Luntz uses cutting edge technology to show the audience, in real time, exactly how customers react to company communications. From ad testing to sales training to virtually any other interaction with customers, it is impossible to ignore the impact of these sessions on their audience.
