Electronic Marquee

To request space, please contact your account manager in UCM with your request. If a marquee message is one component of a larger marketing or communications project, it should be discussed in conjunction with overall project planning.

The content in marquee message requests should be written as concisely as possible and include no more than five basic elements:

1. The presenting department or unit
2. The event name or topic of interest to the general public
3. The day and date of the event (if applicable)
4. URL's are not needed
5. No QR codes

Departments or units that develop annual event calendars - Athletics; Music, Theatre and Dance; Admissions; Meadow Brook Theatre; Meadow Brook Hall; for example - need not submit separate requests for each event. Calendars can be submitted in whole to the department's or unit's account manager. Departments or units should not plan on more than two graphic to be live on the marquee at one time.

UCM recommends that all message requests be submitted well in advance of desired run times. Creation of message artwork may be subject to UCM art department scheduling, which could require days or weeks of lead time.

Each approved marquee message will be displayed in 10-second intervals in a rotation of 18 advertisements in cycles running throughout the day. This ensures at least 1 hour of total screen time per day on each of the three screens.

Message spots within daily playlists have been strategically allocated as outlined below to advance the University's mission. Designated administrators will resolve any conflicts arising from a number of requests exceeding the number of available spots. Decisions will be made based on timeliness of approved messages, their applicability to University strategic priorities and other considerations administrators deem relevant.

Message requests may be submitted as far in advance of an event as the person or department submitting the request wishes. UCM cannot guarantee that requests submitted with less than one week of lead time will be posted.
