                        “Mike’s training guided new and veteran pitchers to a nuanced understanding of listener-centered fund raising. 
                        Thanks to Mike’s help, it’s no coincidence that our on-air membership campaign blew past everyone’s expectations."   
                                              
                        - Duncan Lively, KUSP
                                                                                                           
                        “KAZU has worked with Mike Wallace and Public Media Partnerships for more than four years on all of our major membership drives and has seen a major increase in revenue during that period. Mike provides a complete service from messaging and strategy to execution. Our recently completed spring membership drive was a record for the station despite a major economic downturn. I can't imagine planning and executing a major pledge drive without Mike's help."

                          “Mike knows how to communicate the importance of membership
                        while making our listeners and viewers feel good about themselves, as well as KPBS.”

                                                                                                    - Doug Myrland, General Manager (retired), KPBS 

                               
                        “Mike Wallace did a bang-up job of staff training and executive producing the Fall 2002 Membership Drive for Nevada Public Radio. Mike came in pre-drive for training of the on-air talent, critiqued demo pledges and helping in the pre-production of taped pledge announcements. He then was with us on-site throughout the ten day drive, coming in early and staying late, to make sure we were maximizing our opportunities. The result…the most productive membership drive we had ever held. An investment in Mike was money well spent.”

                            “With only about two weeks of lead time, Mike Wallace came on board to lead WLRN through the most successful radio pledge drive in its history.As the old saying goes, we truly couldn't have done it without him."

                        “Since Houston Public Radio started working with Mike Wallace, we’ve produced two record-breaking
                        on-air campaigns within the space of a year. We’ve also seen a big increase in new memberships.“

                        and our number of pledges by 15%. That translates into a much higher average pledge
                        and a staff  that was into the drive 110% .”

                        was instrumental in keepingus focused and on message."

                                “I recommend Mike Wallace not because we share the same last name -- a coincidence -- but because he is dedicated to being ahead of the curve in marketing initiatives that help his clients. His special talent in bringing together non-profits and for-profits in productive partnerships is only one of his special abilities.
