Experience

IMC’s marketing services team has decades of combined experience across the higher ed, corporate, publishing, and nonprofit worlds. We use this experience to help our clients develop a compelling offer—and then place that offer in front of the right audience with the right messaging and design.

Listening Before Leading

To do this, we need to listen and learn about you and your goals, so we can help you develop a marketing strategy. In short, we’ll sit down with you to plan the work, and then we’ll work the plan.

We will put a timeline together and divide the responsibilities to be sure that your project is done—on time and within your budget.

Working Together

Once we’ve had the initial “kickoff” meeting, we’ll begin work and, at key milestone steps, you will be asked to approve copy, design, and other key components of your project. Near the end of the project, you’ll be asked to approve the final draft before it goes to press or production.

If you’re not sure whether you need web, print, or media relations support–or some combination thereof–please contact Sarah Forrer and she will help guide you or schedule a meeting with the IMC team.

Finding the right words can be more challenging some days than others. Let our writing team tap its higher ed, corporate, and nonprofit writing and editing experience to help you craft your message.

From something as simple as text on a poster, to more-involved projects like helping create University-wide messages, producing newsletters, multi-page brochures, compelling radio or print ad copy, or writing for the web–we can help you reach your intended audience.

If you prefer to draft your own copy, our writing team can help fine-tune your message and provide professional editing and proofreading services.

Most importantly we can help ensure that your copywriting fits with your overall marketing strategy, your messages are filled with keywords to pull in web visitors, and your projects comply with the University Style Guide and institutional marketing messages.

One of the most effective ways to reach a target audience is through the use of great visuals and printed marketing materials. Our graphic designers works in tandem with our writing team to help you create print collateral that targets your audience and motivates them to take action.

The print projects we handle most frequently (and with great success) include:

• Advertisements
• Postcards
• Brochures
• Newsletters
• Flyers
• Posters and banners (large and small format)
• Invitations (high-level University functions or large-scale events)
• Logo design (conforming to University Style Guide)
