NPS+ is unlike any PR agency. In fact, you might call them a PR collaborative. An organization that has brought together the most diverse skill sets from a broad range of industries all working as an alliance for one common goal: to preserve and elevate their client’s reputations. Their team is made up of former journalists, political staffers, graphic designers, videographers, small agency owners/operators, and more. They are all of the same mindset, to get to work quickly and drive results. And it's all done in-house. NPS+ was established in 2013 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexsen Pruet, to support the growing communications needs of the law firm. While their NPS+ team members are well connected throughout the Carolinas region and beyond, their affiliation with Nexsen Pruet, a 200-attorney law firm with eight offices throughout North and South Carolina, also allows them to utilize the industry expertise and depth of relationships of their extensive attorney network.
