〔http://www.patriciamartin.info〕 Patricia Martin is an American author, speaker, and cultural analyst. She is president and CEO of the Chicago-based marketing firm, LitLamp Communications, which she founded in 1995.() She has published several books: ''RenGen:Renaissance Generation - The Rise of the Cultural Consumer and What it Means to Your Business''(), ''Tipping the Culture: How Engaging Millennials Will Change Things''(), and ''Made Possible By: Succeeding with Sponsorship''(). == Professional career == Before founding (LitLamp Communications ) in 1995, Martin created the first-of-its kind sponsorship marketing division for the American Library Association. While there, she partnered with Microsoft, where she built the blueprint for what is now the Gates Library Foundation, an initiative Bill Gates believes "History will get right," as his most important legacy.〔New York Times, Nov. 6, 2002.〕 Martin's first book, ''Made Possible By: Succeeding with Sponsorship'' was published in 2003. The information contained in the book is meant to provide guidance for nonprofit organizations in obtaining and maintaining corporate sponsorship. Philanthropy News Digest called it "direct, succinct, and illustrated with concrete examples."〔(Amazon Detailed Book Review )〕 In 2007, Martin published her second book,'' RenGen:Renaissance Generation - The Rise of the Cultural Consumer and What it Means to Your Business''. The book detailed Martin's theory about the RenGen, or Renaissance Generation, an emerging group of individuals who are hungry for innovative ideas and ways to express them. RenGen also refers to a growing cultural movement formed by the confluence of art, education, entertainment and business. According to Martin, a powerful new player is at the center of this RenGen: the cultural consumer. Cultural consumers thrive on information and ideas to fuel their creative self-expression. Martin proposes that as the RenGen gathers force in our civilization, it will change how Americans live and work.〔Martin, P.
