DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO HELP LOCAL TAMPA BAY BUSINESSES
Ad 2 Tampa Bay announces its call for donations for the 32nd Annual AdAuction
TAMPA, FL (August 04, 2011) – Ad 2 Tampa Bay, the unified voice of Tampa Bay’s emerging advertising professionals, is now accepting donations for its 32nd Annual AdAuction until September 14, 2011. The auction will take place September 20-26, 2011. Each year, the organization places a unique variety of media placements and creative services up for bid on ebay. Proceeds of the auction will be used to fund Ad 2 Tampa Bay’s efforts to improve the Tampa Bay business community through its initiatives in professional development, legislative affairs, and community service.
Media placements, collateral and services collected for the auction include, but are not limited to: advertising space in newspaper, television, print, radio, outdoor, and online media; design; photography; printing; marketing; advertising and public relations consulting services; concert tickets, autographed items and more.
By donating to the AdAuction, organizations are given the opportunity to raise awareness of their products and services among hundreds of business owners and media buyers throughout Florida and the Caribbean looking for new tools to promote their brands.
Every donation made to the AdAuction helps the young professionals of Ad 2 Tampa Bay be able to volunteer their time and services to the Tampa Bay community. The project that receives the largest amount of AdAuction proceeds is the Ad 2 annual Pro Bono Public Service Campaign, a yearly charity effort aimed at giving some of Tampa Bay’s most deserving non-profit organizations the much needed advertising and marketing support they’ve always dreamed of.
All donations are tax deductible as marketing and advertising expenses, since donations will be promoted to an active mailing list of nearly 900 local and national professionals, actively promoted through Facebook, Twitter and other social and traditional media outlets, and posted to the popular Ad 2 Tampa Bay website for one year.
To place your donation today, please fill out the Procurement Form and email it to vp@ad2tampabay.org before September 14, 2011.
For any questions regarding the Ad 2 Tampa Bay’s AdAuction please e-mail Amanda Fisherman directly at vp@ad2tampabay.org.
