Please let us know at least a week in advance if you have a message you would like us to share across our platforms – although in emergency cases we can turn things around on certain platforms more quickly and within 24 hours on some.
- BFBS TV – for the overseas armed forces community only. This will typically be either an animated message running between programmes and will require 3-4 days to create within the messaging template. In an emergency, and for very urgent communications only (as overuse is not popular with our audience, for obvious reasons!), we can also share your message via a ‘lower third’ messaging graphic within the TV programme itself.
- BFBS Radio – for the overseas and UK armed forces communities, including veterans and the wider public in the UK. Messaging via live reads from presenters on BFBS Radio can generally be organised within 48 hours (or 24 hours in emergencies). These can also be regionalised. For a bespoke radio promotion campaign, at least a week’s notice will be required.
- BFBS Radio Facebook and other BFBS social platforms, including the BFBS page on Defence Connect – there are a variety of social media platforms to reach all, or specific parts of, the UK armed forces community globally. Please provide any imagery or branding required.
- Bfbs.com, which currently has a Covid-19 messaging facility on the homepage – to reach the armed forces community globally.
- Information on the target audiences for your message or campaign
- As much notice as possible, although we understand this won’t always be possible
- Length of time for the message to run
- Any video assets, imagery or links
- A clear and succinct message to communicate
- Any other relevant or background available for interview or comment on our platforms
