TMP Gives Back
At The Market Place we don’t claim to be the best marketing firm, but we do strive to be the best that we are capable of each day. Part of being the best we can be includes giving back to the community, institutions and organizations that make our home and industry great.
We are a small business, but we think even small budgets can give back. As John D. Rockefeller said, “If I had not tithed the first dollar I made, I would not have tithed the first million dollars I made.” Giving has many faces, including time, talents and monetary donations. While we wish we could do more and become members, sponsors and advertisers of all the great organizations we work for, we hope you will see that what we try to do is give back in the area of student leadership organizations and other non-profits.
Here are a few ways we are trying to do our part.

- Serve as panel or guest speakers for industry events
- Serve as judges for national communications contests
- Lifetime Member of the National Alumni Association

Talents
