Q: Hello Sam,
The B'ham Alumni Concert Band would like to place an ad for an upcoming fund raising event dated June 13. We'd like to consider a paid ad in the Herald and an announcement in the Take Five. How do I begin?
Is it possible to have a small article written about our group placed on the same page as an ad?
A: Jenny,
You can give Hillary Thomsen a call at 360-715-2278. She can walk you through the process as well as email you information on how to get a press release submited to the newsroom. Hillary is familiar with your account as she worked with them last year for this event.
Thanks
