Advertising on Aberdeenshire Live

Guidance

Applications for advertisement are processed on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Advertising space is not guaranteed and the panel reserves the right to reject applications considered out of date, or otherwise not in compliance with council and police policies and values. You may apply for multiple advertisements. Adverts must be supplied in the correct format as set out below.

Text and Photo

• As a guide for the right pane zone text will have to be kept within two or three short paragraphs.
• Pictures should be in a JPEG format and cropped to know more than 300 x 300 pixels to fit on the same screen as text.
  
• Should the full advert be in a JPEG file the complete zone dimensions for the right pane are 360 x 576.
• Photos must have the filename_yourname_date.jpg
• Text and photo (with consent forms, if required) should be emailed to aberdeenshirelive@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
  

Text and Video

• Text must consist of no more than two or three short paragraphs.
• As a guide, video content should last up to around 30 seconds, and no longer than one minute, (if you require additional video time then contact corporate communications)
• The use of audio is not supported therefore video images should be subtitled or a narrative included where appropriate.
• Video content must be in standard MPEG or AVI formats
• Video files must have the filename_yourname_date.
• The text and video (with consent forms, if required) should be emailed to aberdeenshirelive@aberdeenshire.gov.uk

The panel will contact you once your application has been processed to confirm whether the application has been accepted. If it has been accepted, an invoice will be generated and sent to you.

What do you get?

Adverts are shown a minimum of five times an hour every day and you may apply for multiple advertisements. The adverts will be displayed across the network in council buildings during office hours excluding public holidays. In libraries they will be displayed during library opening hours - a list of library opening times can be found on the Aberdeenshire Council website.

Adverts displayed within supermarket locations will be based on the store’s opening hours. At locations where projection is in use adverts will be display onto windows 24 hours a day. The advertisements can be shown on screens and window projection in a single area or across the network in multiple areas. We also offer the opportunity to advertise using the desktop television network. This encompasses a selection of community PCs within libraries

How much does it cost?

A 3, 6 or 12 month contract is possible and one monthly change to advertisements is permitted.
