Strategy

Signs will be treated as a small billboard to target regional traffic to:
  • Support institutional awareness and image recognition
  • Advertise academic programs available
 

Content Guidelines

Priority will be given to:
  • University-wide interests or concerns
  • Messages that engage target recruitment audiences
To be compliant with municipal signage regulations and institutional goals, messages 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

 

Acceptable Messages

  • Recruitment Events
  • Promoting Academic Programs
  • University Brand Messaging

Unacceptable Messages

  • Events not open to the general public
  • Events that do not appeal to a wide University community audience
  • Messages from organizations that are not affiliated with UW-Green Bay
  • Any off-campus revenue-generating activity
  • Any event that promotes illegal activities or violates any University, state or federal laws and policies
  • Promotion of alcohol, tobacco, political, racist, sexist, bigoted, false, misleading or deceptive viewpoints

 

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.
