Vermont Public Radio 2020 Underwriting Campaign

Project Overview

Green Peak Alliance pursued an underwriting campaign with Vermont Public Radio (VPR) to both support public radio and promote Green Peak Alliance’s initiatives for 2020 through early 2021. Our underwriting spots were on an on-air monthly rotation and more than 200,000 people listen to Vermont Public Radio and VPR Classical weekly according to the Nielson Audio Survey, Spring 2019, for Persons 12+. The goals of the campaign were to establish GPA as a “go-to” resource for prevention and education on substance misuse and raise awareness about GPA throughout Vermont.
