Underwriters

Without the generosity of our underwriters and nonprofit partners -- people to help us keep CharlestonCurrents.com vibrant -- we would be unable to provide this online community to the people of the Charleston area. That's why we'd like to recognize these organizations and thank them for their patronage and help.

Benefits of being an underwriter

Spotlight. In every issue, we profile a different underwriter's mission and vision. This provides the underwriter with the opportunity to say more than a tag line or show a logo. It allows our talented readership to learn more about what underwriters do and value. Additionally, underwriters can periodically change their message in their spotlight box to meet the needs of the season.

Brand presence. CharlestonCurrents.com does not accept advertising, but each underwriter of the publication receives a logo presence with each issue and on a special page that's linked to the underwriter's organization. Underwriters can use CharlestonCurrents.com to promote their brand and increase community recognition of the brand.

Today's Focus. Underwriters get preferred placement of op-ed commentary in our Today's Focus section that highlights important community issues and interesting ideas. This feature allows underwriters to lead substantive discussions of issues and information that's important to them.

Pushed content. CharlestonCurrents.com sends each issue by email to all subscribers (subscriptions are free). Over a month, underwriters can expect their brand to be seen thousands of times. Underwriters also are encouraged to forward the publication to their email lists to promote readership.

Influential audience. Readers of CharlestonCurrents.com are an informed, connected audience who are among the leaders of the community.

Contact publisher Andy Brack today to learn more about exciting underwriting opportunities.
