• These are best used between content blocks, and not stacked on top of one another.
• Do not stack more than two billboards.
• You are not required to use a button link in the billboard content area.

Heading

Billboard headings should be written in Title Case. They should be descriptive phrases that provide a concise description about the content being featured within the billboard component. Billboard headings are always a H2 so they should not be a sentence or end with a period.

Examples:

• “Our Work in Action”
• “Leadership”
• “Get to Know the Berman Institute”

Length Guidelines: A maximum of 8 words is ideal.

Text

The text area allows for multiple options:

• Text, link list, button(s) or any combination of these.
• If using all three options, ensure text does not exceed the length of the photo selected for the billboard.
• You can use buttons within the billboard text area, this is optional.

Guidelines:

• Text should not exceed the length of the photo selected for the billboard.
• Aim for no more than 2-4 sentences/40-50 words.
• If using lengthier text (4+ sentences), do not use a long link list.
• The button copy should be limited to 2-4 words.

Example:

Text: Pursuing graduate study is an investment in your career and your future. Our financial aid professionals are available to provide information about how you can finance the next steps in your education. (32 words)
