Overview of the Approved Marketing & Communications Vendor Program
To ensure that our community has access to high-quality providers of marketing and communications services, we’ve worked closely with Procurement to develop an Approved Marketing & Communications Vendor program.
As part of the program, vendors are required to become a recognized vendor of the university, complete corresponding brand training courses, and follow the brand approval process. Once approved, vendors are added to the official Approved Marketing & Communications Vendor list, and members of the university community may communicate with them directly to receive estimates for projects and working with them to create deliverables.
Working with Approved Marketing & Communications Vendors
Identify the type of asset you wish to create, and view the list of vendors approved to provide an array of services and products for the university. Regardless of the deliverable, best practice calls for reaching out to more than one vendor to solicit cost estimates. Our vendors understand that you will be seeking the best price and overall value for your projects. Should you choose to work with an Approved Marketing & Communications Vendor, note their official University vendor number as it will be needed for the purchase requisition.
