Talbot Screens & Social Media Announcement Request

Adding to Talbot TV Screens

For SPH Community Members:

The TV screens in Talbot are designed to show one horizontal flyer at a time. Please use this full-screen slide template or a design tool like Canva with the specs of 1920 x 1080 to create your design. Keep your design as simple and as readable as possible.

Please do not submit digital flyers that follow a vertical or half-screen slide size. If you are interested in displaying flyers in Crosstown, please email medcampuscomm@bu.edu.

Design Tips: For readability, you should limit the amount of text on your flyer. Each flyer is only displayed for 8-10 seconds, and there may be as many as 10-15 flyers rotating at any given time. We suggest creating a QR code and placing that onto the flyer for readers to scan for more information. You can make a free QR code here.

Due to the volume of requests, we prioritize events and opportunities specifically for and by the SPH community on-campus (students, staff, and faculty). Submitted slides will only remain on the screens for 2 weeks. Please allow the SPH Marketing and Communications team at least 4 business days.

If you are not a member of the SPH community but would like to post to our screens in Talbot please email us for consideration. In addition, if you are not a member of the SPH community and are looking to post to screens other than in Talbot, please contact BUMC Communications for assistance.

Sharing on Social Media

We are able to consider certain Talbot TV screen flyers for social media sharing (LinkedIn and Instagram Stories). This is dependent on many factors, including that the main audiences for our social media channels are external individuals. We are not able to honor all requests to share on social media given the high volume of requests we receive. Please also note that there is no way to limit social media posts to only individuals affiliated with the school, so that your event will be shared with all external audiences. If you have additional questions, you may email skaeppel@bu.edu.

Promoting your event at SPH

Please ensure that any events you are promoting on this form are added to the SPH Calendar before sharing. An event added on the Talbot Screens, school newsletters or shared via social media does NOT mean it is added to the SPH Calendar. Please contact your department administrator for assistance with adding events to the SPH Calendar.

For more information, please read our FAQ.
