1500 Broadway, Times Square

Put your business on the board in Times Square

One set day a month, a handful of businesses share the board at 1500 Broadway. Your ad plays five times, 15 seconds each, in the middle of the busiest pedestrian corner in America — and you get a photo and a video of it running to use however you like.

The dates

Each date runs once enough spots are taken, and they do — between demand for the board and the size of the partner network, every date so far has gone ahead. In the rare case one does not, your spot moves to the next date, or you keep it as credit against anything else on the desk.

How it works

Four steps, and only two of them are yours.

1
Secure your spot Pick a date and pay for your spot. Dates fill, and if one ever did not, your spot moves to the next one.
2
Send your artwork One image or a fifteen second video, to the sizes below. No artwork yet? We can build it.
3
It runs Five plays across the day, fifteen seconds each, on the board at 1500 Broadway.
4
You get it back A photo and a video of your ad on the board, yours to post, print or send to whoever needs to see it.

What people put on it

It is a screen in Times Square. The businesses that get the most out of it are the ones with something worth announcing rather than something to sell that afternoon.

A launchA product, a location, a rebrand. Something with a date attached.
An anniversaryTen years in business, on a screen your whole team can see.
A thank youNaming a client, a hire or a partner in public. It travels further than a card.
RecruitingA hiring push that does not look like every other hiring push.
A fundraiserBoard time is a donation people can see, which makes it easier to ask.
ProofThe photo outlives the day. Most people buy it for what they do with it afterwards.

Your artwork

Build to this and it will look right. Send it and we will check it before the day.

Before you ask

What if the date does not fill?

In practice they fill — between demand for the board and the size of the partner network, every date so far has gone ahead. If one ever did not, your spot moves to the next date, or you keep it as credit against anything else on the desk. Whichever suits you.

Do I have to be there?

No. Somebody captures it either way and sends you the photo and video. Come if you want to — most people who are nearby do.

Who else is on my date?

A handful of other businesses, each with their own plays. Your ad is yours alone while it is up.

I do not have artwork.

Ask. Building it to the exact spec is one of the things we do, and it is cheaper than the place itself.

Can I have a whole day to myself?

Yes, and longer than a day. Tell us what you have in mind and we will price it.
