The Mainland Origin Story

Mainland was established in 2019, but our story starts more than a decade earlier, when Mainland founder Nick Powills worked for another PR firm.

After pitching some decidedly forward-thinking ideas to deaf ears, Nick was fed up with the PR world’s refusal to embrace a changing communications landscape. Social media was a fad, his boss told him, and digital publications couldn’t compete with their print counterparts. Nick disagreed. That was Nick’s why.

So, in 2008, Nick struck out on his own and built a small consulting firm called No Limit Media Consulting. Drawing from a career in journalism and public relations, Nick imbued his company with a spirit of innovation and modernization and a dedication to compelling storytelling that continues to drive the business today.

Today, our Why Now is built from our integrated approach, scalable pricing model, and a service delivery unlike any other agency.
