Supercharge your advertising campaign with the Bresnan Business Incubator grant
Initially up to 100 businesses in Wyoming will be chosen to take part in the Bresnan Business Incubator program. Each will be eligible for a matching advertising grant from Bresnan worth up to $10,000. For every dollar a business spends on advertising with Bresnan, the company will provide matching advertising funds. “The idea here is to demonstrate how critical advertising is to a growing business or start-up venture,” Bill Bresnan said. We think our matching grants will really supercharge their advertising campaigns.”
