Testimonials from our Clients

Our underwriting of WAMU has been very successful for us, and a perfect example of doing well by doing good. The audience is ideal — we reach senior professionals and decision makers. We have achieved a greater level of recognition that helps all of our outreach efforts. Not only do we hear directly from prospects, but our clients have even called to thank us for supporting public radio! We are proud to do so. — Leo Mullen, CEO NavigationArts

WAMU’s audience has proven an ideal match for Cultural Tourism DC. The station’s listeners, like the individuals we seek to reach, are engaged in their community, intellectually curious, and physically active. We would be hard pressed to find a better way to reach our target audience in Washington, DC — Kathryn S. Smith, Director Cultural Tourism DC

Booz Allen Hamilton takes great pride in providing outstanding service to our clients. We’re proud to sponsor WAMU, an organization that shares the values of excellence and community service. — Booz Allen Hamilton

We have found that underwriting on WAMU has consistently delivered results and added value. No greater example is when we hear feedback from Members of Congress or senior staff about how they heard our latest message and want to learn more. — Kent Dellinger Manager, Government Relations Honda North America, Inc.

Partnering with WAMU helped IBA’s campaign messages hit the mark. Paired with other targeted advertising and marketing, we saw a dramatic increase in Web site traffic and heard clients remark that they’d heard the spot on air. Thanks, WAMU, for helping us make a positive impact! — Lauren Foote IBA Communications Corporate Underwriting Kit

Underwriting Credit Guidelines

Enhanced Credits: May be up to 15 seconds in length (including preamble) May include information that further clarifies the identity of the funder, such as: 1. The name of the underwriter’s subsidiary, operating division, or parent company. 2. The underwriter’s product or service line, identified by generic name or trade name. Brief descriptive phrases may be permitted to describe the product or service line, but any wording that reasonably can be interpreted as comparative, promotional, or qualitative will be avoided. Promotional language is defined as containing: • Qualitative or comparative language • Calls to action • Price or value information • Inducements to buy, sell, rent, or lease • Endorsements • The underwriter’s corporate slogan if it identifies, but does not promote, the underwriter or its products • Promotional slogans are not acceptable even if they identify the underwriter. 3. The location of the underwriter’s business. This may be a city or state, or a specific address. Alternatively, it may be a generic reference to the area served (e.g. “serving northern Virginia” or “with stores throughout the Washington metropolitan area”). 4. The underwriter’s telephone number, e-mail address, or Web site address may be used in lieu of a street address or description of location if (1) the underwriter does not do walk-in business at an established location and (2) the number is not accompanied by a call to action (“call 5551212 for further information” would not be permissible). 5. Language that clearly identifies tobacco products and that might create an association between WAMU 88.5 and such products in the minds of listeners will not be accepted. All enhanced announcements must observe contemporary standards of good taste. Corporate Underwriting Kit
