Advertise in the Wisconsin Banker
The Wisconsin Banker is WBA’s flagship bi-monthly publication. In circulation since 1995, the Wisconsin Banker magazine has been a trusted source of industry news and information for Wisconsin’s banking leaders through some of banking’s most tumultuous years.
Leverage that trust and get your company in front of bank decision-makers by advertising in the magazine.
The WBA and its flagship publication offer you unique advantages over other state and regional banking publications:
- Unmatched reach: WBA represents nearly 98% of banks in Wisconsin. No other financial trade association in the state has as wide a reach. Each issue is delivered to approximately 1,100 bank locations with an estimated readership of over 5,500 bankers.
- Extended exposure: Your ad will also be included in the digital version of the Wisconsin Banker, a PDF that is distributed via email to over 2,500 bankers every month.
- Cost-effective: Wisconsin Banker advertising rates are lower than comparable advertising options in the state.
- Convenient: Don’t have an ad agency or internal design team? No problem. Advertisers who purchase three or more, quarter-page or larger advertisements in Wisconsin Banker can opt to have their ad designed by WBA – for FREE.
