NABS 2010 Ad Auction

The dates for the much anticipated NABS Ad Auction have been set for February 17th - April 15th 2010. This year we have implemented numerous changes to the auction to increase the quality of service we offer to our donors and buyers:

  • Website Re-launch: The 2010 Ad auction will be hosted on a brand new website that offers many additional features and increased functionality for end users.
  • The Ad Auction has been expanded to a 12-month property: Inventory not purchased during the auction will remain on the website until April 2011
  • Diversity of Inventory: We are working to increase the variety of media available across sectors as well as provide more custom packages to suit buyers' needs Each year NABS asks for your participation through the donation of a media package from each of your properties. Your donations will be promoted nationally through trade media, direct mail, web and email communications to prospective advertisers, media buying and advertising agencies.

    • The NABS Ad Auction remains the largest charitable media auction in Canada. Proceeds will go directly toward helping our industry colleagues in need. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to making the 2010 auction a tremendous success.
