The following processes, training and resources were developed in coordination and collaboration with university leadership and communicators to ensure successful implementation of the new Oregon State University brand platform.

Brand Alignment Review

In order to measure the effectiveness of the brand and to ensure that communications and marketing materials generated across campus are in alignment, University Relations and Marketing and/or its delegates, will conduct annual reviews of unit marketing and communications materials. The Vice President of University Relations and Marketing will report the findings to the Provost and Executive Marketing Committee and will conduct unit-specific sessions to discuss findings. This is a constructive review meant to recognize exemplary work in addition to discussing areas for improvement.

  • University Relations and Marketing has a Box folder system for submission of assets. Guidelines for collection of assets and the process are in the Box folder.
