Mark Bisnow (born August 1952) is an American entrepreneur, author and former presidential campaign aide.
Prior to starting Bisnow Media with his son Elliott in 2005, Bisnow worked in politics (US Senators Hubert Humphrey and John Heinz, US Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole[3] and US Representative John B. Anderson), law (Latham & Watkins), transportation (assistant to the Chairman of US Air[4]), technology (MicroStrategy and WebMethods), and business journalism (weekly columnist for the Washington Business Journal and daily business commentator for DC news radio WTOP).
[1] From 1978 to 1980, Bisnow was press secretary and political advisor to Rep. John B. Anderson (R-IL) in his campaign for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination.
[9][10] The New Republic called it "the best book to come out of the 1980 campaign, addressing in a more engaging and revealing manner than any other questions about the power of personality in politics, the decline of the parties, and the influence of the media.
"[6] A second memoir by Bisnow, In the Shadow of the Dome, published in 1990, chronicled his experiences as a Capitol Hill aide in the 1970s and 80's.
