WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, USA, August 21, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A request for proposal (RFP) to area advertising agencies resulted in a unique proposal from new Wilmington advertising agency, The Ad Buyer. The agency was selected over all other proposals based on its unique tactical and creative elements.— Cleve Callison, WHQR Sation Manager
“We are thrilled to have been selected,” said Director of Agency Services, Paul Evans. “Truly, for us this will be a labor of love as we are all avid WHQR listeners and are looking forward to helping the station increase its footprint into South Carolina.”
WHQR has been the staple public radio voice in the Cape Fear region in North Carolina since first signing on the FM dial at 91.3 back in 1984. The station has become a beacon of public discourse, with a reputation for airing unique performances, solid programming and fostering a community spirit that covers southeastern North Carolina. The initiative to spread the programming message of news and music that WHQR has to offer into neighboring South Carolina became a reality several years ago when a signal repeater was installed on the Time Warner building in Myrtle Beach.
“We feel very strongly about our listening neighbors in South Carolina,” says Cleve Callison, WHQR Station Manager. “We have decided to implement a campaign to not only reach more of the year-round residents of Myrtle Beach, but to inform the many tourists that their favorite public radio programming can be found at 98.9 and classical music at 102.3 on their radio dial.”
Mr. Callison explained that the WHQR Executive Board formed a committee to investigate the best way to reach the Myrtle Beach market effectively, and an RFP was issued to area advertising agencies to elicit proposals on the most productive means to target the area.
“We chose The Ad Buyer to help us with this initiative based on a sound proposal that incorporated both traditional and digital media, and some very unique ideas that they brought to the table,” said Callison. “We are looking forward to a successful campaign and an increased footprint for WHQR, he added.”
