What others are saying about
Giving Agency:

  • "Emerging from the global pandemic saw me need to restructure my entire membership department. Bob Breck was suggested as someone to talk to and I'm so glad I did. We benefit from his understanding of our market conditions, format, and revenue goals. Our new head of membership is a motivated, highly skilled fundraiser new to the world of broadcasting. Acclimation has been less of a challenge thanks to Bob's coaching everything from the anatomy of a pitch break to actual on-air performance. Bob's guidance is a major asset!"

  • "Bob is a delight to work with! He joined us as a consultant for our fall membership drive and we couldn’t have been more pleased. He’s extremely reliable, fully knowledgeable, and has a calm and accommodating disposition which helps to offset the intensity of pledge."

    - Bonnie Berman
    Friends of WLRN

  • "CapRadio relies on Mike Wallace during fund drives to be everything from a visionary to a can-do problem-solver. He helps us develop strategy, re-evaluate presumptions, and find ways to analyze results. His ideas get us out of ruts and inspire fresh approaches that catch the audience’s attention and activates them. Finally, fund drives take staffing power. And a lot of staff go above and beyond their routine activities to make a fundraiser work. Mike is a multi-tasking, multi-skilled team member who can fill in critical roles, from producing, pitching, to script writing."

    - Jennifer Halm
    Senior Director of Development
    CapRadio

  • "Mike and Bob make a stellar team. They each have their individual strengths that help stations improve their pledge drives and sustainer programs. I have worked with them twice and would call on them again in a heartbeat!"
