On-screen advertising at show

Large format monitors will be situated by both refreshment areas, where they will receive maximum attention. Each monitor will run a showreel of still images, footage clips and adverts. You can purchase a slot of between one and five minutes that will be repeated at least 30 times throughout the day, so each minute you purchase will get at least 30 minutes of exposure. Provide us with business cards and we will place them in stands by each monitor at no extra cost.

You can upload a prepared video clip or, at a small additional cost, we can assemble a slide show of 10 images per minute with backing soundtrack. Video should be supplied as 720p HDTV @ 60Hz in QuickTime (.mov), Windows media (.avi), or MPEG 2 or 4 format. If you book for us to assemble a slideshow for you, you should upload ten still images per minute booked as high quality JPEGs, sized to fit the monitor resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, with your company name, table or contact details included (e.g. in a bar at the side or bottom of each image).
