UConn's Brand Experts

Strategic marketing is a primary function of University Communications. We serve as UConn's brand experts, creating materials and websites that promote the University through standout design and stellar copy. We ensure that all pieces that come through our office are consistent both visually and in messaging, shaping UConn's look, tone, and voice.

Institutional Branding

We help give meaning to the UConn brand. Whether we're creating signature work, such as the University's website, UConn.edu, or posters and postcards to promote events, our marketing professionals put careful thought into the concept, message, wording, photography, and design. Behind the scenes, our marketing professionals develop the strategies that guide communications for our own department and others University-wide. Then, we implement those strategies through ad campaigns, websites, print materials, photography, signage, and social media, ensuring that every piece tells the UConn story. In the past year, our marketing professionals launched nearly 100 new websites and produced more than 450 designed projects.
