5 Reasons to Become a WCA Sponsor

Written by Tricia Barendregt.

Need to get your business in front of Austin communicators? Women Communicators of Austin is the perfect audience for your message. Here are the top five reasons to become a WCA sponsor:

1. Connect with a large audience. The WCA is one of the 10 largest professional organizations in Central Texas, and is rapidly growing. Our membership includes nearly 300 women and men from across a broad spectrum of communication specialties.

2. Connect with your target industries. WCA’s membership stretches across all industries. We’re professional communicators who work for Fortune 500 companies; marketing, advertising, and public relations firms; nonprofit organizations; the public sector; educational institutions; as independent business owners; and more.

3. Connect with decision makers. WCA’s 2014 member survey revealed that many of our members are in a management position and have purchasing power. Our members manage communications budgets including graphic design, printing, ad buys, trade shows, signage, printing and professional services for themselves and their clients.

4. Gain repeated exposure. WCA sponsors receive special recognition (and free tickets!) at more than 60 events during the year, including the Get Smart Conference, Banner Brunch, monthly luncheons, Careers Over Coffee and Connect Over Cocktails. Gold or platinum sponsors also have the opportunity to contribute quarterly content to the WCA blog.

5. Choose what works for you. Sponsorship with WCA does not require a big financial commitment. WCA’s sponsorship levels vary to fit a variety of budgets, so you can choose what’s right for you. All sponsors receive recognition on the WCA website, in our bi-weekly email newsletters, on social media, and at WCA events.
