WARD “WBUR proved that their audience responds to the message that Vice President, GEICO crafted to comply with the FCC regulated 10 second under- Geico (insurance) writing guidelines with the same effectiveness to grow our business as the commercial audience responds to our award-winning creative and references to price, quality and value. For us, it is about speaking the most compelling language to every target audience in a fashion that they respond to best.” BARRY STEINBERG “Over the past 20 years of underwriting on WBUR, we have found that President, Direct Tire customers walk in the door, thank us for underwriting and supporting (tire and auto repair) WBUR, and just hand us their keys to their car and say, ‘Please fix my car. I thank you for supporting my radio station.” DAVID HELLER “WBUR has proved an invaluable partner to Assemble and we have President, relied on this partnership to help our clients succeed. Over the last Assemble Partners two years, we have had great success working with WBUR’s national discussing his national NPR programs produced out of their Boston studios. With WBUR na- brands (media company) tional shows, ‘Here & Now,’ and ‘On Point,’ we are building programs for our clients that are achieving measurable results, both in terms of sales lift and awareness build.” JEFF KAPLAN “Each year we invest a lot in bringing new clientele into Innuwindow. Owner, Innuwindow The great thing about WBUR listeners is that they walk into our store (window treatment) and actually thank us for being an underwriter of WBUR, and let us know that that’s why they’re coming to us. As much as I love the radio station and am a listener myself, just as a pure business decision, that’s why I continue to underwrite.” JON CARSON “One benefit of WBUR as a marketing tool, is what the brand Chief Executive Officer, stands for—a trusted source of balanced thoughtful information.
