Microsoft Corporation
In July 2012, Penn was named Corporate Vice President for Strategic and Special Projects at Microsoft Corporation. Shortly after he came on board, he began a public relations campaign against Google on behalf of Bing. Just in time for the holiday shopping season, he created a commercial in which Microsoft criticized Google for polluting its shopping search results with advertisements. “Don’t get scroogled,” the commercial warned. Another of Penn's projects at Microsoft included the "Bing vs. Google Challenge", a blind side-by-side comparison test where users could compare search results from Google against Microsoft’s Bing to see which search engine produced more relevant results.

Famous quotes containing the word corporation:
“What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party]. I shall do all in my power to retain the corporation tax as it is now and also force a reduction of the [tariff] schedules. It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
