What is a campaign? A campaign is any project or initiative that will require more than one service to implement successfully. This could range from the development of a full marketing plan to a postcard mailing with a dedicated landing page or a new eNewsletter that needs a banner.
The Division provides oversight of the University’s brand image. While this primarily revolves around logos, colors, fonts, taglines, and guidelines for writing, it also includes maintaining a consistent image of personality and culture.
