Follow Mike Allen
With an eye on the latest breaking news, Allen shares with audiences his fascinating, non-partisan, behind-the-scenes analysis of what’s going on in Washington—all told with high energy, candor and humorous anecdotes. What are the issues that will confront both the Democrats and the Republicans in the coming years? How will the Obama Administration continue to work with a divided Congress? What is the impact of a second Obama term on the business community? What is the future of the Republican Party? Will the Tea Party be a factor in the future? How does President Obama navigate the daily changing landscape—around the world and here at home?
When Politico was formed in 2006, it focused on creating an entirely new way for readers to get their news. While others saw a foray into the publishing industry as a risk, Allen saw a unique opportunity for disruptive innovation—using his concept of “driving the conversation” to offer a fresh perspective on news that targets the nation’s decision makers. With this vision and smart use of technology, Allen grew Politico into the successful, 200-person, thriving organization it is today. With high energy and humor, Allen shares what leaders need to know about building a business in a challenging market and economy.
One of Washington’s most connected and influential journalists—and the driving force behind Politico’s daily email tip sheet Playbook—Mike Allen offers his non-partisan, energetic and up-to-the-minute insider perspective on issues of the day, the Obama Administration and building a business in an unsteady economy.
As a “founding father” of Politico, Mike Allen’s Playbook drives the day’s conversation from Washington to Wall Street to the West Coast. Using his astute journalistic experience and his insider status, Allen’s daily email newsletter is read by America's most influential people and news/media junkies before they have their morning coffee. Time named Allen as one of the top 140 Twitter feeds shaping the day’s debate, calling him “the Virgil of the beltway, leading the rest of us hapless Dantes through the inferno of America's political universe.” The New York Times Sunday magazine cover story (April 2010) dubbed Allen “The Man the White House Wakes Up To.” Vanity Fair named Allen to its 2011 (#39) and 2012 (#19) "Top 50 New Establishment and Powers That Be" list. He is also the creator of the daily newsletter, Morning Money, which gives readers the political intelligence on the intersection of Washington and Wall Street—a must read from cabinet secretaries to CEOs of the Fortune 500. Allen is co-author of two e-books focusing on the 2012 presidential campaign —Politico Playbook 2012: The Right Fights Back (November 2011) and Inside the Circus—Romney, Santorum and the GOP Race (April 2012). In 2006, Allen left his post as chief White House Correspondent for Time and joined Politico—then a 35-person organization in what many considered a shrinking industry. With his philosophy of giving readers one take-away from select stories of the day, Allen was able to carve out a niche in the political and financial news fields and fill a void in the marketplace. Today, Politico is a thriving 200-person business. Before Politico and Time, Allen spent six years at The Washington Post where he covered President Bush's first term, Capitol Hill, campaign finance and the Bush, Gore and Bradley campaigns of 2000. In 2004, the White House Correspondents’ Association gave Allen the prestigious Merriman Smith Memorial Award for outstanding presidential coverage on President Bush’s secret trip to Baghdad, Iraq. Prior to joining The Washington Post, Allen was a reporter for The New York Times, covering Mayor Giuliani and the Connecticut statehouse.
