Marketing and Creative Services
Marketing and Creative Services
We offer a wide range of marketing and creative services to Auburn University campus clients. We can help you apply the university brand to your project, ensuring consistent messaging, while taking advantage of the synergy created by THIS IS AUBURN. Our team can assist you in every phase of the marketing and creative development process, from strategic planning, graphic design, all the way through to implementation, delivering completed printed pieces or other marketing materials.
Before we take on a new project, we ask that you fill out the Project Overview and bring it with you to the initial project meeting. This will help us determine the best approach to your job, based on the audience(s) and communications goals.
When beginning a new project, we can help assess your goals and develop a targeted marketing strategy. Because we work only for Auburn, we will ensure that your marketing will adhere to the university's strategic goals and brand standards.
Services available include:
- Marketing Consulting
- Marketing Plans
- Market Research
- Advertising Concepts
- Advertising Placement
- Message Delivery
- Communication Audits
- Evaluation Measures
OCM also has additional capabilities within our office including web, news, video, photo and events. Acting as a full service advertising and marketing agency, we can provide integrated, comprehensive marketing and advertising plans that will ensure consistent messages across all media and platforms.
We can assemble a team of professionals to create, manage and complete your project. To schedule an initial project meeting, contact Bridget Wyke at 844-9999, or bsw0034@auburn.edu.

Our award-winning design team provides professional quality communications solutions for campus clients based on identified needs and goals. We can help you apply the university brand to your project, ensuring consistent messaging, while taking advantage of the synergy created by THIS IS AUBURN. We can design and produce printed materials like brochures, folders or flyers; promotional items, banners or signage; and web banners and graphics. There is no charge for our design services, but the campus client is responsible for any printing costs.
Because we're in great demand, we occasionally cannot meet a desired deadline due to previously scheduled projects. In that case, we can suggest freelance designers who are familiar with the Auburn brand and our graphic standards; we will still oversee the project from start to finish, with the campus client responsible for the cost of using this outside resource.
If you need design services, schedule an initial project meeting by contacting Megan Burmester at 844-9989, or smithmp@auburn.edu.

Print Production Services can help you plan your publications for maximum impact at the lowest cost and assist with job specifications for printed materials. We also review all printing jobs to ensure mandatory graphic standards are met.
If OCM is designing your materials, Print Production Services works with Creative Services to streamline the steps by providing price quotes and printing approvals while the design is being completed. Print Production Services will also handle the process through final delivery.
If OCM is not designing your materials, please use the printing program put in place by Procurement & Payment Services. View the list of preferred vendors and procedures.
Should you need any other assistance with printing, or have questions about procedures, please contact brandsupport@auburn.edu.
For promotional items that are not printed on paper, please contact Trademarks and Licensing at 334-844-5180 or AUTrademarks@auburn.edu.
