Corporate History

Ansira formerly NSI Marketing Services is a privately held marketing and advertising company with co-headquarters in Downtown St. Louis [3] and Dallas. NSI Marketing Services, which had been functioning in the industry since 1919, acquired Razor and rebranded itself as Ansira in 2011 after NSI and Razor merged. [4] [5] [6]

Founded in 1919 NSI rebranded itself as Ansira in 2011.

[7]

From 2000 to 2011 the company grew from 50 employees to 450 and expanded from one to eight offices.

[20] A major factor in that grow was the 2009 acquisition of CoAMS, Inc., established in 1982, which had more than 100 employees and a client roster of more than 50 Fortune 1000 companies.

In 2011, NSI acquired Razor, a marketing strategy and customer engagement agency based in Dallas.

In 2012, KRG Capital, a Denver-based private equity firm made an investment in Ansira. [1] [1]

In October 2015, Ansira acquired SQ1, a digital marketing and analytics agency based in Dallas for about $55 million.

[1] [1] Ansira was ranked as a Strong Performer in the Q4 Forrester Wave report of Consumer Insight Services in July 2015. [1]

In 2016, Martin Reidy, who joined Ansira in 2014 as president [1] , became Chairman and CEO [1] replacing Mark Mantovani who had held the position since 2000. [1]
