Frequently Asked Questions
How do I request support for my department or program?
Submit a Marketing Request Form with details about your project, goals, audience, and timeline. You can also schedule a Discovery Meeting to discuss ideas and strategy.
How far in advance should I request support?
We recommend submitting requests 4–6 weeks in advance for events, campaigns, or complex projects. For smaller tasks like flyer design or web updates, 5–7 business days is typical.
Can I create my own materials and just get them approved?
Yes, you can design your own materials using approved templates, and yes, they must be reviewed by the Marketing team before distribution to ensure brand consistency and professionalism.
Can I update my department’s webpage directly?
No. All web edits must be submitted through the Marketing team to ensure consistency with branding, accessibility standards, and technical requirements.
Can I manage my own social media account for my department or program?
Yes, but the account must be approved by the Marketing team. You’ll also need to share login credentials with Marketing for oversight and continuity.
What if I’ve been managing an account or creating materials before these policies were in place?
All existing accounts and materials must now comply with current branding and communications policies. Please submit your account or materials for review and share access credentials with the Marketing team as soon as possible. Non-compliant accounts may be subject to deactivation.
Can I request photography or video for my program or event?
Yes! Include this in your Marketing request. Availability is limited, so early submission is key. We prioritize events and stories that support recruitment, student success, and community engagement.
Can I get help writing or editing content for my program?
Absolutely. We can help craft messaging that reflects Pierpont’s brand personality and resonates with your audience — whether it’s for a webpage, brochure, email, or social media post.
