Let’s all brand together

A brand is much more than simply our name, wordmark, or school colors. It is, in essence, a person’s preconception of a product, service, or organization. These days, with information available, literally in the palm of students’ hands, the competition among universities is at an all-time high. And within our own campus, we provide each unit an opportunity to express its own distinct voice, while still maintaining consistency within the overarching Iowa State University brand. Understanding the diverse, and unique differences and preferences of every student are what drives us to make relevant, and meaningful connections in all mediums.

Get the most out of your promotional efforts by partnering with our office to develop effective marketing and branding solutions. Our marketing services are offered to any unit on campus.
