Tom Palombo, Athletic Director/Head Basketball Coach, Guilford College
"As an Athletic Director (who is also a head coach), my Vice President and I needed an experienced professional to give us a fresh perspective. Trip's ability to pull our faculty and staff together, to discuss solutions to our unique challenges, and to work directly with us has proved invaluable. Trip brings a relaxed style to campus. He is a true champion for the small school administrator."

Tim Selgo, Director of Athletics, Grand Valley State University
"Trip is a leader in college athletics. His small-school experience allows him a perspective that truly benefits the institutions of Division II. In my conversations with him, he exhibits his ability to generate ideas; ideas that will assist Division II conferences and schools in reaching their external relations goals."

Jim Paquette, Assistant VP and Director of Athletics, Loyola University Maryland
"Trip Durham has been a key figure in collegiate marketing for over ten years. I began to follow his work while I was on the Board of Directors for NAADD. His success in growing revenue, programming and membership for a national association like NACMA translates very well as 2D Consulting partners with Division I programs to explore, assess and provide external relations solutions. His personality and his knowledge were a perfect fit for us at Loyola University Maryland. He is incredibly responsive to our needs, he replies to messages with great speed, and he provides exceptional customer service."

Jim Abbott, Assistant V.P. of Intercollegiate Athletics, Oklahoma City University
I have known and worked with Trip for several years and he has personally impacted the way I do business. What I appreciate most is that his perspective and approach to Sports Marketing is really based on "getting his hands dirty." He has "been there and done that" and really has a unique understanding of how to effectively approach marketing, branding and revenue generation."

Josh Chappell, President, Chappell Insurance Group
"As a newly-formed insurance agency, we were looking for direction and guidance in our branding and marketing campaigns. I asked Trip Durham to help Chappell Insurance Group develop both. He facilitated group discussions that led to ideas we put into action. His professional yet relaxed approach encouraged our entire group to offer their ideas, which was important to me. We now have a solid brand and marketing identity that we are excited about for 2010."

James Companion, Associate Commissioner, Big South Conference
"Our league is comprised of Division I members, our schools are small, and they all search for identity and unique programs to set them apart. Trip’s creativity and instincts as to what will work (and what will not) have always impressed me. I can call Trip with a question and within minutes of brainstorming with him, I have an answer that I can take to my clients."

Wendell Staton, Director of Athletics, Georgia College and State University
"Trip is the first person I think of when it has anything to do with growing our brand, enhancing our external relations and providing the best game day experience for our fans. 2D Consulting provided the fundamentals needed for our staff in a language we understand. Most Division II schools don’t have the luxury of a full-time external and internal operations coordinator. 2D Consulting will raise the profile of our program and we will see enhanced revenue and excitement from our community both on and off campus."
