One of the most important influences that drove CEO Nick Powills to start No Limit Media Consulting was his consistent and proven track record in delivering effective results for his clients in national, local and trade media. Through the management of more than 80 different franchises’ media relations support, Powills has led each brand to greater success through public relations, advertising and marketing strategy. Powills’ track record is built on years of media experience, which he has applied to media strategy for the greater good of developing a brand.
Now, through an aggressive training program, Powills’ staff – a group of progressive communications specialists – have packed their portfolios with media placements and Social Media success stories, which have helped No Limit’s clients achieve franchise sales goals and retain and renew relationships with their clients and customers.
Prior to creating No Limit and venturing onto the “dark side”, as journalists often refer to it as, Powills spent years in the newsroom, learning exactly what constitutes as a story. Powills’ media career experience is in hard news, sports, entertainment and music. His ten-plus-year journalism career included stints at the Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone Magazine, Details Magazine and various other publications. Powills was also a two-year-resident columnist for a Chicago daily newspaper and editor-in-chief of Drake University’s newspaper. One of Powills’ major public relations advantages is his understanding of the media, and understanding of what stories are actual stories. Powills remains connected to writing, journalism and management as owner of an online Chicago Music Magazine (Lumino Magazine). He maintains an active role and connection to reporters and producers nationwide.
No Limit’s progressive staff has proven their ability to retain clients through the execution of successful branding campaigns. No Limit has not lost a single client due to dissatisfaction with services, as its “Jerry Maguire” approach to business and media relations has successfully exceeded the needs of its clients. No Limit’s hands on approach makes clients feel less like just clients, and more like partners.
No Limit’s progressive strategy has rewarded its clients with hundreds of interviews, media placement, consumer connections, and franchise leads, including placements on major national television programs including the Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, Fox & Friends, Big Idea (no longer broadcasted), Larry King Live and David Letterman. No Limit has also secured articles in national newspapers including USA Today, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, LA Times; national wire services such as the Associated Press and Reuters; national magazines such as Time, Inc., Entrepreneur Magazine, Fortune Small Business, Women’s World, Women’s Day, First for Women, etc.; and other media sources such as Franchise Times, Franchise Update, Area Developer, Franchising World, Nation’s Restaurant News, etc.
No Limit makes a point of extending its services much further than the basis of a retainer. No Limit, a full service communications agency dedicated to providing the franchise industry with more than the basics of public relations, extends the boundaries of limited client relationships through marketing and hands-on strategic growth campaigns. By becoming ingrained in the growth of companies small and large, No Limit Media Consulting differentiates itself from the typical public relations firms by acting as a valuable part of the company, rather than just a supplier.
Unlike traditional PR firms, No Limit extends its services into the Social Arena by building customized campaigns, including personalized management, designed to use consumer praise to drive franchise sales. Everything No Limit creates is designed to keep brands progressive.
