Campus Marquee

Marquee Request Form
Use the Marquee Request Form to submit messages for placement on the UW-Green Bay campus exterior signs. Message approval is subject to the Marquee Guidelines below.
Marquee Guidelines
Strategy
Main & Bay Settlement Entrance signs target local traffic to:
- Advertise major institutional events and public services to local traffic
- Inform of institutional closures for legal holidays or planned campus road closures
- Welcome campus visitors for major events
Highway WI-57 sign will be treated as a small billboard to target regional traffic to:
- Advertise campaign messages
- Advertise major institutional events
Procedures
Marketing and University Communication (M/UC) is responsible for strategic oversight and content management of information on each of the campus exterior sign marquees. M/UC reviews and approves or denies all message placement requests.
- Only UW-Green Bay entities may request message placement
- Submissions must be made at least two weeks prior to the desired placement date
- If design services are needed, an additional two weeks are required
- Maximum run-time is two weeks (unless otherwise determined by M/UC)
- M/UC has the authority to edit content for viewing speed/distance restrictions
- Institutional priority events and messages may override programed messages at the discretion of M/UC
Content Guidelines
Priority will be given to:
- University-wide interests or concerns
- Messages that engage target recruitment audiences
- UW-Green Bay auxiliaries that rely on local public patronage or participation
To be considered for posting, submissions must meet the following criteria:
- Be related to goods, services and events available on our physical location
- Be in compliance with the University’s strategic messaging and goals
- Be of broad interest to the University and external community
- Be campus-sponsored rather than campus-hosted
- Must not endorse a political issue or candidate
- Must not advertise commercial activities conducted off premises
- Must not advertise non-UW-Green Bay commercial or for-profit messages
Message Parameters
- No compound messaging – one idea per message
- Simple imagery (single subject matter, high contrast, large fields of color, etc.)
- No Institutional logo – Logo is already present on permanent signage
- All imagery must have proper usage permissions and licensing

Message Visibility
The following table shows WDOT traffic count data near the signs (interactive map). Traffic counts are reported as the number of vehicles expected to pass a given location on an average day of the year. The sign provider estimates a 3- to 4-second viewing window for the height and speed of the signs. State regulation has a 6-second minimum rotation time for roadside digital messages.
