Getting marketing support

General marketing enquiries

The Marketing team is split up into faculties, with two members of staff responsible for each faculty. For any general enquiries, departments should contact the relevant marketing persons in the first instance:

For example, if you would like to promote a course, get in touch with the relevant marketing contact who can work with you to devise a marketing strategy. This could include producing print, organising photography, refreshing web content, creating an email or creating an advertising or social media campaign.

 

For general marketing enquiries, contact marketing-team@essex.ac.uk.

Producing marketing materials

If departments would like to produce any marketing materials to promote something to prospective students, get in touch with the relevant marketing contact for your faculty. With a clear objective, Marketing can help by suggesting the most suitable marketing channel to use for promotion.

Your marketing contact will send you a brief to complete, so that they can advise on the best promotional strategy, and get the project started.

For print materials, Marketing liaise between the department and CDS to produce the print. CDS design and print all material produced by the University of Essex, but please do not go to them directly without consulting Marketing. CDS have a minimum three week turn-around, so when planning consider the time-frame of producing print. If there is a short turn-around time, speak to your marketing contact to discuss options and see whether print is possible.

Departments will need to pay for any print produced. It is possible to receive a quote for design and printing from CDS before getting started.

Photography

The Marketing team work closely with a professional photographer to ensure that all photography used for marketing and student recruitment follows the brand style.

You can view a large collection of marketing photos on Box. Feel free to download any that you want to use to help promote the University of Essex. Images should not be used for other purposes or to promote other universities or organisations. The images are for University of Essex staff use only.

Please retain the original file name, so an image can be easily searched for, and if asked, you may be required to destroy photo files from your computer for any reason.

If departments would like to organise a photoshoot for marketing purposes, get in touch with the relevant faculty or department marketing contact.

Please be aware that the decision has been taken to stop using the previous photo storage platform, Filecamp, and you will no longer have access. Please use the link provided above to access photos on Box instead.
