The Media Tracker: Non-profit & associations push towards newsletter sponsorships
Non-profit & associations get tactical with ad dollars, utilizing newsletters for 100% SOV
The Media Tracker
This week we're diving into non-profit & associations and their preferred medium for sponsorships.
What's 🔥 Right Now
The non-profit & association newsletter push
Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l is sponsoring Politico's Weekly Transportation, focusing on how certain airlines are looking to cut training hours and the danger of doing so.
AVMA is sponsoring Politico's Weekly Agriculture, urging Congress to pass the bipartisan Healthy Dog Importation Act (H.R.1184/S.502).
U.S. Chambers of Commerce, (while not an association, they do play a role in this sector) is sponsoring Politico Playbook and P.M., promoting their study on policy risks.
Association of American Railroads is sponsoring Politico Influence, driving to a branded content piece that dives into their commitment towards safety.
NCTA is sponsoring Politico's Digital Future Daily, focusing on expanding broadband to all Americans.
Shut Down SHEIN is sponsoring Politico Nightly, a coalition bringing urgency to SHEIN and the dangers it has on American's privacy and businesses.
U.S. Steel is sponsoring Axios Generate, touching on their commitment to reducing CO2 emissions.

The NSSF is sponsoring The Hill's Morning Report, touching on how the firearm industry has a positive ripple effect on the economy.

New lobbying to keep in mind

Greenberg Traurig, LLP: Neste US, Inc.

King & Spalding LLP: Acadia Healthcare
Liberty Partners Group, LLC: Rc Billing (Americans For Fair Healthcare)
The thought: non-profit and associations tend to put ad dollars towards newsletters over on-site or event sponsorships. This allows them to get 100% SOV in front of a select audience, usually policy makers and lobbyist helping to push current initiatives along.
