Become an underwriter

Corporate underwriting on WBUR offers companies the impact of traditional radio marketing with the benefit of providing support for a well-respected Boston non-profit media institution. Corporate underwriting on WBUR is an effective way to build business, brand your company, announce events, recruit staff, promote a chosen philanthropy, and much more — all while helping to pay for the news.

As a WBUR underwriter, you will gain:

  • Direct access to a concentrated, affluent audience with a powerful, personal commitment to WBUR
  • Name recognition among professionals and business leaders likely to be interested in your products and services
  • Credibility by associating with intelligent, in-depth journalism from National Public Radio (NPR), the BBC and the WBUR news staff
  • Appreciation from your colleagues, customers and peers, who will recognize your commitment to the community

The WBUR corporate underwriting team can help you design a schedule of underwriting announcements that meets your financial, marketing and philanthropic goals. Your company’s underwriting plan can range from exclusive sponsorship of a particular program to a schedule that spans all segments of the day. You may also become a partner in one of our special events as well as in our fall and spring corporate challenge programs.  (See some Underwriter Testimonials.)
