Locations 

There are 5 vertical digital Trooh screens, showcasing 1080×1920 images or short-form videos on 64.5” x 36” screens. These screens are located across the building, in our highest traffic areas, the dining hall and lounge spaces.  

In addition, there are 4 horizontal screens, 48” x 27”. 2 are at the North Entrance, 2 at the Southwest entrance, and 1 large horizontal digital display (144” x 54”) in the first-floor atrium.  

Oversight 

Digital advertisements are offered and managed in partnership with Trooh, a campus media network serving colleges throughout the United States. The HUB oversees all UW-affiliated submissions (e.g. RSOs, departments, HUB major event reservation holders). Trooh is responsible for the procurement and management of all external advertising that runs in tandem with HUB-managed requests. 

The HUB does not manage digital displays in HUB Games, the Welcome Center, and Housing & Food Service screens within the Husky Den. 

Pricing

Depending on your relationship to the HUB and the university, you may be eligible for free short-term digital ad placements.  

Those who are ineligible, or who wish to advertise beyond their complimentary allotment, are subject to the rates listed below, based on university affiliation.

Digital Display Request Requirements

A campaign is defined as an advertisement created for a single event or call-to-action (e.g. campus survey, RSO / student government Elections, program opportunities, etc.). A single campaign may not advertise multiple events or opportunities. Such requests will be denied. 

Digital ads are limited to one image or video per screen size (2 total: 1 vertical, 1080×1920; 1 horizontal, 1280×720). If submitted materials exceed this limit, they will be run and billed as separate campaigns. If multiple graphics are needed for a single campaign, please submit them in a single video format (30 second max).

Run time for all campaigns must be continuous (e.g. Monday – Saturday, not every seven Mondays). A week is considered 6 consecutive days (barring Sundays and holidays when the building is closed) and coincides with the HUB’s operating hours. 

If you would like several different campaigns to run simultaneously, please submit multiple ad requests. Each reservation is subject to the fees below.
