Working with Third-Party Marketing Vendors
We understand that utilizing specialized external marketing vendors is sometimes necessary, depending on the scope of your project. However, working with a party external to the university requires adherence to consistent messaging and University brand standards.
That’s why the university has partnered with a select group of pre-approved contracted vendors to support the creative and marketing needs across campus. This group of contracted vendors covers the following areas of expertise and is ready to help you meet your goals:
