Marketing Support

In University Communications and Marketing, we use multiple tools to tell SIU’s story to its most important audiences. We work in partnership with offices across campus to develop and implement effective, cross-platform communication and marketing strategies designed to help you achieve your goals.

We can assist with copy, design, and presentation of print and electronic communications as it relates to SIU’s recruitment, retention, and marketing efforts. Brochures, viewbooks, email campaigns, and ad design are only a few ways we can be of service. Using key elements of branding and creative problem-solving, we help you keep your SIU marketing communication materials consistent with the university’s brand.
