"The Townsend Group led the way to a complete revamping of our advertising and sponsorship relationships, improving them in a way that hadn't been done before, and created new opportunities for us with new clients. They also helped us by showing us a new view of our potential through a fresh look at ourselves, using readership surveys and demographics and statistics that gave us insight into how to shape our content and new ways to reach more of our readers with stories that are of greater interest."

—Donald R. Winslow, editor, News Photographer magazine
