MEDIA – PROMOTIONS – PRODUCTIONS
MEDIA POLICY OVERVIEW
The media & communication department is here to partner with you in communicating about your event. There are several ways we can help. Typically we start with creating & design, from there we have a few directions like print materials, online strategies & video. During this process we will create a promotion & marketing strategy for your event.
Fully complete our online event approval form. If there is any detailed information missing from your request we will contact you and will need it before we can start any of our processes.
We would prefer to have 2-4 weeks of creation and strategy before the start of event promotion. For example if your event is approved for June 1 we would prefer to start promoting by early May, which means our creation and design process would have started in early to mid April. While this is not always the case it seems to work the best whenever possible.
