Our Story
Mike Polisner first opened KSM Promotions back in 1996 in the Chicagoland area with a background in marketing and communications. Mike always loved coming up with unusual and creative ideas for client events and employee programs that set them apart from their competitors. Starting the business in a 400 square foot office and a few high-profile clients, the need to add team members and a larger facility arose. Mike is grateful to have a great team of trustworthy professionals our clients can rely on, as trusted marketing partners.
When Mike isn’t servicing clients, you can find him competing on the tennis court, working out, and spending time with his wife, three children, and their cavachon Joey.
