Welcome to mPower, the BMA Chicago 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 in early June. A percentage of all mPower donations go directly to the College Tuition Assistance program, and the balance of the proceeds fund the BMA Chicago operations, programming and events.
For information about mPower, please contact Marla Schrager.
*Details for the grant program, along with applications, will be available shortly.

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.
