A birthday, proposal or surprise on a Times Square billboard
Some moments deserve a bigger screen. A birthday message, an anniversary or a proposal can run full-screen on a real Times Square board, from $110.
What people use it for
- Proposals and anniversaries
- Birthdays and graduations
- Congratulations and thank-yous
- A face, a name or a short message in lights
Setting the date
A specific run date is $100 extra, and we confirm it by email. Be honest with yourself about timing: the exact time of day can't be chosen. Your ad plays through that day at a fixed interval, about every two hours on a Single or every hour on a Double. If the moment has to happen at a certain time, plan to be there for a stretch of the day and watch the live stream.
Capturing it
The board is on a public live stream. If you want a photo of your ad on the board, a live photo is $50 extra. For a proposal, check the play times in your account and the location (1560 Broadway, between 46th and 47th Street, above the Pelé store) before planning the moment.
Keep it simple on screen
- One photo or one short line, in large type.
- High contrast and away from the edges.
- Check the preview before you pay. It is free.
