Request Ads
After searching for items, viewing search results, logging into the system, and selecting the items you want, you can submit a request for the desired items. When you select items of interest from MCRC, you are requesting cost estimates only. If your organization agrees to the cost estimate and terms of use, an MCRC administrator will expedite the order process. NOTE: If all items in your order are listed as “FREE,” an MCRC Administrator will deliver all items to you via a download link after you complete your request. No cost estimate will be needed or delivered.

- Complete the required Client Organization fields as follows:
- In the Name of Person with Signature Authority field, enter the name of the person that the Media Campaign Resource Center can contact about the request. By default, this field displays your name.
- The name of the organization associated with your own account appears next.
- You then have a drop down option where you can choose a different organization if you are ordering on behalf of someone else (ie a media contractor ordering for health department). It should default to your own organization, and you can leave it that way if ordering for your own organization.
Note:
Ads are available for public health agencies, schools, organizations, or groups in their tobacco prevention efforts. Ads are not available for individual use.

- After completing the information for the last item, click Submit Request. The system sends the request to an MCRC administrator and displays a confirmation message. An MCRC administrator will contact the person listed on the form by e-mail or telephone to discuss the selections, including pricing and terms of use, if applicable.
