What Can Marketing and Communications Do For You?
-
Copywriting , Editing, and Proofreading
We can help you polish your copy before distribution. Need help fact checking, researching, copy editing, proofreading, and aligning content to the College style? We’re on it.
-
Creative Strategy
Do you have something to communicate, but you’re not sure where to start, or do you have a vision but you aren’t sure how to bring it to life? We can talk you through it, from concept and strategy, to how to measure success. We provide creative consultation and can help you craft your vision.
-
Storytelling
Know of something we should be writing about? Get in touch to discuss potential news stories, alumni magazine articles, blog posts, and more. We’ll take care of the writing, you just tell us what’s happening and when.
-
Email
Want your email to make it through spam filters? We’ll help you craft compelling subject lines, good-looking templates, clear messages, and overall vibrant content that will dazzle inboxes.
-
Event Promotion
The best way to ensure good turnout for your event is to include us in the earliest planning stages. The more lead time we have, the more opportunities to help you get the word out.
-
Graphic Design and Printing
Let us—and our professional design partners—take your print communications to the next level. We can design visually compelling projects of any scale, including signage, banners, posters, annual reports, mailings, maps, branded swag, outdoor displays, and brochures. And we’ll manage the entire print production process, including timelines, estimates, design and editorial review, proofing, and securing trusted vendors to ensure a quality result.
-
Mascot Costume
Want to make your event more memorable? Request to borrow our iconic Black Squirrel mascot costume. The wearer should respect the integrity of the suit and uphold the silent communication style of its on-campus cousins. We recommend a team of two: one to wear the suit and a second to help navigate all of the requests for photos.
-
Photography
We can provide photographers who will capture your important moments and help you tell your story. Examples include event coverage, student/faculty shadowing, social media support, and website and presentation imagery.

We can make videos in-house or work with outside vendors, depending on your needs. We can also help with video editing, motion graphics, and transcription. We have the equipment, software, and the know-how to elevate your visual story.
