Donate: Annual Media Auction
The BMA Media Auction empowers your media to do more for your clients and advertising budgets by allowing you to make specific buys at substantially reduced rates. Your dollars also empower our industry and our community by supporting the BMA Chicago College Tuition Assistance program. In 2012, this program will provide financial assistance by awarding multiple $500 grants to senior and graduate level Chicago area college students with areas of concentration in marketing, communication, media, and/or journalism.
mPower is the largest fundraising component of BMA Chicago, and culminates each year with the Windy City Biz Bash gala. Thanks to our generous media donations, bids can start at 40% of open rates. For information about mPower, please contact Marla Schrager.
Media Donations
If you are a publisher of online, print or other media, please contact us to contribute donated media space. You may donate printed ad space, online banners or ads, integrated online/offline programs, digital billboards, transit advertising, airport advertising, network/cable television ads, radio advertising, social media ads, search engine keyword programs, etc. Coverage may be regional or national.
BMA Chicago will publish and auction your contribution to the highest bidder. Any purchases made by bidders are in addition to any existing contractual commitments. You also retain permission to accept or reject any bid based on the parameters of your publication or online requirements. To maximize your donation and the buyer’s media schedule, we prefer that the bidder have 12 months from purchase to use the placement. For example, the current media program would require placements to run before December 31, 2012.
