The Marketing and Brand Management team is an in-house, on-campus, creative group ready to assist the University community in solving its marketing and visual communications needs. We work on all university-wide, strategic brand-level marketing, including recruitment marketing, integrated campaigns, brand activations, brand commercials and videos. We also offer campus-wide support in a variety of design projects such as postcards, annual reports, displays, pole banners and installations across campus. MBM can assist in navigating the creative process from concept to production.
