Clients are Saying…
We are dedicated to meeting the challenges you face and to working with you to leave that “Positive Impact” on your business. But don’t just take our word for it!
““Villanova University engaged Positive Impact to perform a review of gameday basketball operations. They delivered a comprehensive report of operations, findings and recommendations based on their knowledge of industry best practices. Their work was an important element in providing our fans with an outstanding game day experience.””
“Our decision to retain Positive Impact was an easy one. There are few that have experience in launching a successful new league and getting it off the ground. Managing basketball elements for us from venue operations, game production, game operations to liaising with our broadcast partner, their professionalism, combined with their knowledge and skill, have certainly exceeded our expectations. The Positive Impact Team acts and delivers whenever they are called upon.”
“For several years we have worked close with the Positive Impact Team to support our external community affairs activities to include sponsorship activation, events and other consumer facing programs throughout the state of New Jersey. The Team is outstanding and an important partner to help us improve the company’s products, services and brand image. They are an invaluable partner for Horizon BCBSNJ and I recommend them to other organizations.”
“We retained Michael Rowe and his team to organize and execute every facet necessary for staging Division 1 college basketball games, and they did an outstanding job. In addition to the nuts and bolts of running the games, we had to upgrade the facilities at Bloch Arena - a 75 year-old open air facility - and Positive Impact handled it all quite professionally. We look forward to working with them again.”
“We gave Positive Impact a short amount of time to develop sponsorship sales and a game day entertainment plan for our recent All-Star weekend at Mohegan Sun Arena and they did a tremendous job. I’m happy to recommend them.”
“The Positive Impact Team executes our major fundraising events throughout the year. Whether it be our annual Golf Outing, Walk for Team Walker or Evening of Dreams gala, I know every aspect from start to finish will be handled flawlessly. They understand that we are raising money for inner-city youth in Jersey City and that going the extra mile could mean another kid gets the chance to participate in Team Walker’s programs, so they go the extra 10 miles!”
“Positive Impact has been CRDA’s consultant for 3+ years and have been nothing short of professional in every phase of their work with our Authority. Their advice is sought on business dealings with sports and entertainment issues, particularly at our Convention Center and our Historic Boardwalk Hall Arena location. Their skills in understanding the entertainment and sports business, marketing, facility management and public policy issues combine to provide our Board with viable options and recommendations that help make our operations more efficient and market-competitive. ”
“With no industry knowledge in our Authority, we sought outside experts to guide us in our goal of maximizing the economic value of the Prudential Center, the surrounding areas and to insure that the existing lease arrangements and agreements were in compliance with contractual provisions and in accordance with industry best practices. We were fortunate to secure the services of Positive Impact and their Principal, Michael Rowe to perform services for us over the past 3 years. Positive Impact understands the public assembly facility industry and, almost as importantly, understands the needs and role of government that holds interests in such assets.”
“Positive Impact has helped place the Northeast Conference on a very progressive road. They are experienced and professional and they get results. I enjoy working with the entire staff. ”
“The Positive Impact staff has done a terrific job managing and developing the New Jersey Storm franchise and the brand in a crowded marketplace. Their experience, effort, and professionalism are exemplary.”
“As part of a consulting consortium, Positive Impact demonstrated their particularistic expertise in the area of project and operations management, which blended admirably with other technical component requirements of the Bid Book. The result of this work was heralded by the Bid authorities as outstanding. The Chairman, Mr. Chris Dehring, lauded the work by stating, and I quote “Bermuda has raised the bar in its bid submission”. The consequence of Positive Impact’s partnership in this endeavor has resulted in Bermuda being chosen as a venue to host warm-up matches, our first goal; and to also be designated as first alternate venue in the principle competition, a milestone for a non-test playing country.”
“When Atlantic City Race Course looked to supplement our planning and development team with a n entity with sports and entertainment expertise, we knew immediately who to call. Working with Michael Rowe and the Positive Impact team, we designed and integrated creative sports elements into our project. We then asked Positive Impact to conduct a preliminary economic impact statement which was extremely well received by all Stakeholders. The Positive Impact professionals are valued members of our team and we look forward to continued partnerships with them in the future.”
“As a sports architect I realize that having an operations expert on our team can create a significant difference as we compete for business in the crowded sports marketplace. Having Positive Impact on our side allows us to tell our potential clients that not only can we design and construct, but we can operate and manage what we create.”
“Michael Rowe and the Positive Impact staff have unparalleled experience in the sports business. Having them as a resource will help maximize the impact of First Union’s current and future sponsorship arrangements.”
“I have been working with Positive Impact for almost ten years on several large-scale projects, and every time I have teamed up with them, I have had nothing but rewarding experiences. Their dedication to even the smallest of details is what truly makes them a unique consulting firm.”
“When Cannon Design won their bid to assist in conceptual design and strategic planning services for the potential redevelopment of Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field in Regina, Saskatchewan (home of the CFL Roughriders), we immediately retained Positive Impact to assist with stadium planning and operations aspects of the assignment. Positive Impact brought to the table the innovative ideas, suggestions, recommendations, and opportunities for revenue generation that enhanced the services required.”
“I’d like to thank you for supporting the Enright Foundation at The Smithereens benefit concert “We Get By With A Little Help From Our Friends”. You and your staff were instrumental in making sure the evening ran smoothly.”
