NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Observers are weighing in with their own crisis-management advice for Burson-Marsteller CEO Mark Penn, who had moonlighted as chief adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. He was forced to resign the latter post, undone by a conflict of interest arising between Ms. Clinton and the nation of Colombia, a Burson client. Then Colombia cut Mr. Penn loose, and he now finds himself facing withering criticism from media, Burson insiders, competitors in the industry and even his PR agency's own clients. And, naturally, everyone has his own take on how this famed massager of issues should take care of its mess.
