VIDEO SCREEN ADVERTISING

BOOKINGS FOR ADVERTISING NOW CLOSED

At the book fair, we will be displaying rolling adverts on large screens arouund the venue, for example, in the reading / meeting area in the lobby outside the main hall and on TWO GIANT screens in the main halls. You can submit content for inclusion in that video roll. Below is a guide to the required formats. In order to keep these prices absolutely to the bone – and we’ve REDUCED the prices overall this year – we MUST insist that supplied materials are formatted as requested. We are able to adjust your content if necessary, but we would need to charge a small fee.

We will add a table number to the top-right of the screen so people can come find you, so please make sure there is no critical content in your advert there.

ALL static image / video insertion: £25

Please purchase an ad booking using the button below, then email us as with your ad materials.

Large files / videos: Please send using www.wetransfer.com

You can see a last year’s ad roll video on the homepage.

Static images

We will show your advert image for 30 seconds in the ad-roll. Even though the screen is large, please keep the design simple – not too much text as nobody will read it. We’ll add your table number to the video, so don’t include it in your image.

Images should be 1920 x 1080 pixels.

If you’re unable to edit images, then you can send your book cover (just the front cover) and a couple of lines of text which we can add to the side.

If you supply an Amazon link, we can put in a QR code on the screen, space permitting for people to buy your book directly..

Here’s a sample of a frame from the video ad. Note the table number overlayed on the top right by us.

Remember that your image will be on screen for only 30 seconds at a time, so avoid lengthy text and small writing.

VIDEO INSERTS

Please supply your own video clip in MP4 format. 60 or 30fps. 1920x1080p

If you supply your video at the wrong frame rate (eg 25fps, 29.9fps, then it may stutter).

Maximum duration 30sec – please contact us if your advert is longer than this.

The audio on the screen in the North Hall may be off or very low, so please don’t rely on information in any voiceover.

Please also provide proof of licensing of any music, prominent images or clips in your videos that you have not creted yourself (eg license doc / receipt from AudioJungle, Shutterstock etc). You will assume TOTAL responsibility for any licensing and copyright matters and by submitting your advert to us agree to fully indemnfy the organisers against any claims.

Plese send video files by Wetransfer (see link at top of page) NOT by email.
