MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS AND CREATIVE SERVICES

University Marketing now offers an expanded array of services for non-recruitment communications projects. New services include marketing consultations and free graphic design. Some processes have changed. Read on to learn more.

Non-Recruitment Communications Projects

What services are offered?

• Marketing recommendations and client consultation. We’ll help you determine the best strategies for reaching the audience you want and getting your message across.
• Project management. We’ll develop timelines for your project and work with you to meet agreed-upon deadlines to make sure your project is completed on time.
• Graphic design and print services. We’ll provide you with design options, gather estimates from printing vendors and oversee the print process. These design services are now free; you’ll continue to pay for printing.
• Vendor recommendations. We will recommend vendors for print-only jobs and promotional items that use the DePaul logo or signature. For items using the athletic logo, please contact the Director of Sports Marketing.

For stationery orders, contact Laurie Melvin in Procurement at 2-8696.

For high-volume copying or mail services, contact Distribution Services directly.

How long will my project take?
We’ll always do our best to meet your deadline. However, it’s important to give us sufficient lead time to complete your project, and others in the queue, in a professional and timely manner.

For large projects, allow at least 12 weeks from start to finish.

• Examples include brochures, newsletters and annual reports

For smaller projects, allow at least 4-5 weeks from start to finish.

• Examples include event invitations, postcards, flyers, e-mails and landing pages

How do I start a project?
Please complete the Project Intake Form to request assistance with your project. After submitting the form, your project will be put in queue (in order of receipt). A project manager will contact you with any questions regarding the information you have provided.
