Promotional Vehicles
The following is a list of publications where we can publicize your event. Please note deadlines and contact staff.
BULLETIN BOARD
The Bulletin Board is a brief listing of campus events, news, and related materials of interest to staff, published on the Brookdale website. When a new Bulletin Board is online (news or quantity of content will determine publication) a broadcast email is sent to all employees with a listing of the headlines in each particular issue; click the link to launch the Bulletin Board. Submissions are encouraged, as are photographs or links relating to your event.

PLASMA SCREENS
The College has plasma television screens located throughout the Lincroft campus (Warner Center, Collins Arena, ATEC) as well as the Freehold campus and the Higher Education Centers, which feature a series of graphic slides promoting college events, services and the like. These are updated twice monthly. Please send information about your event, along with any pictures you may have.

LED SIGNS
The two LED signs at the entrances to Brookdale are designed to advertise events held on the Main Campus; they are also used to announce school closings or emergencies. Type space is limited to 3 -5 lines of text (depending on the size of the font), and should state the name of the event, the campus location, and the time and date. Events will generally appear (depending on space considerations) 2 weeks before the scheduled event date. This information changes daily from Monday-Friday. Submissions due: by 5pm on the previous day.

WEB HOMEPAGE SLIDESHOW
The slide show on the Brookdale homepage features a randomly rotating series of graphic images about Brookdale in general as well as specific events, services and recruitment information. Please feel free to request a homepage slide for your college-wide event or service; depending on several factors it will be included in the rotation. Please note any images you submit must be Brookdale-owned, your personal photo, or a copyright-free image.

WEBSITE EVENTS CALENDAR
The Brookdale website's Events Calendar is the place to put information about single events. Website viewers/customers can have this information sent to them as an RSS feed, so it’s a great way to get information about your event sent to smartphones. If you have a single event (or a few scattered events), please email Carol Ann Hafner in College Relations. (If you plan to be listing a large number of events, please email Holly Peterson to arrange for a Sitebuilder login and brief training session.)

WEB HOMEPAGE NEWS FEED
The homepage News Feed is a great way to advertise a series of events, highlight a Brookdale accomplishment or service that is not tied to a specific date, or promote any program at greater length than the above-mentioned Events Calendar.

BROADCAST E-MAIL MESSAGES
Broadcast e-mails to employees are used sparingly as they are reserved to call attention to something of immediate importance to the entire College community. Examples of items suitable for broadcast are: a phone service outage, Webadvisor unavailability due to maintenace, a message from the President’s office, a road closing on Newman Springs Road, etc. Broadcast messages are not used to announce events or promote individual projects! Please keep in mind that failure to plan ahead for due promotion of an event does not make it eligible for a broadcast. All such items belong in the Bulletin Board.

For Twitter, please keep your listing to 140 characters or less. For Facebook, we can create an event for you, or put up a general posting; please include photo or artwork of less than 4MB..

College Relations can write a press release about your event, which is then disseminated to local and regional news outlets. Please contact Carol Ann Hafner at least 6 weeks before your event and provide her with all the relevant details.
