You can reserve ad space for as many days as your budget permits, up to a semester at a time. Just design your digital ad (Adobe Photoshop is recommended) to meet the specs below and e-mail it to digital-ad@umich.edu.

Content Requirements

All basic content requirements established by The SORC apply, most importantly: organization name must be visible on all digital ads. All ads are subject to SORC approval. Hint: Successful advertisements are those that are colorful, eye-catching, and concise. Most people are on the go, and they do not have the time (or attention span) to read a lengthy advertisement.

Deadlines & Placements

Digital advertising screens display your advertisement via a website; Student Managers post ads to this website between 7PM and 11PM, Sunday through Thursday and between 3PM and 6PM Friday of every week. Ads must be submitted 24 hours before the posting date. Ads must be formatted correctly before this deadline, or placement may be delayed. Student Managers are not available to post new ads on Saturdays, so if you want your ad to run for a weekend, you must submit it and sign a contract by closing time on Friday.

Construction Guidelines

All advertisements must be in the following format:

.jpg format

1024X768 pixels (768 tall; 1024 wide)

72 dpi (dots per inch)

"RGB" mode
