Broadcast Guidelines
We help broadcast sponsors tailor their messaging and creative to maximize impact. Here are a few broadcast guidelines to help you get started:
- All sponsors must be identified by their name and/or logo. Sponsors cannot be anonymous.
- Share value-neutral descriptions about your brand, product or service. Mentioning the number of years your company has been in business, product specifications and features, types of services offered and other concrete information is generally acceptable. Avoid superlative and qualitative claims.
- Describe your products or services with quantitative information. Avoid pricing, value information, endorsements and consumer testimonials.
- Shine the spotlight on your brand, and your brand only.
