NSM has achieved a great deal in a very short period of time. They have completely restructured our marketing and corporate sponsorship program at the U of L, increasing the individual investment levels of partners and generating incremental revenue while providing greater value and equity to our corporate partners. Additionally, they have increased our corporate sponsorship revenues from approximately $1 million to in excess of $4 million in the first year.

I am totally confident in NSM's ability to increase any institution's exposure and revenue opportunities. I feel very strongly about this company and the job they are doing for the University of Louisville.
