Put a birthday message on a Times Square billboard
A birthday message on a Times Square billboard starts at $160. Upload a photo or video of the birthday person, pick the date, and it plays for 15 seconds on the 1560 Broadway LED screen once an hour, every hour, for 24 hours. It's booked in under two minutes with no account needed.
How to make it count
One great photo beats a collage
A single clear photo with a short "Happy birthday" line reads best from the street. Busy collages get lost on a screen viewed from across the plaza.
Book the actual birthday
Pick the birthday itself as your date so it plays all day. Bookings within 3 days add a $100 rush fee, so book a few days out if you can.
Not in New York? Watch it live
Share the live Times Square stream with friends and family and watch the screen together from anywhere.
Send them the video
Add Pro video capture ($80) and you get a live video of the billboard moment, ready to share with the birthday person.
