15-Second Ads
Best for simple, high-impact messages.
- Ideal for clear branding, single promotions, or short announcements.
- Keeps attention focused — perfect for quick recognition and repetition.
- Because the slot is shorter, it typically cycles more often throughout the day, giving your ad strong frequency and recall.
- Recommended for businesses that want maximum exposure on a tight budget (for example: “Visit us at AC’s for daily specials!” or “Now Hiring – Apply Today!”).
20-Second Ads
Best for detailed messages.
- Gives you time to show more visuals or text — such as multiple products, event dates, or contact details.
- Lets you build a narrative (“Who we are, what we offer, and how to reach us”).
- Works well for organizations that want to highlight multiple services or upcoming events.
- The longer slot provides more engagement time with each viewer — especially effective in a waiting or check-in environment like the Cordova Center vestibule.
