Promotion and Branding

Student Creative Services [1]

Need a logo? Or promotional materials for your group or an upcoming event? Student Creative Services is staffed by K-State students with design experience to create graphic materials for registered student organizations. Funded by the Student Governing Association, Student Creative Services can create a wide variety of artwork to help registered student organizations develop a brand and market their cause across campus. Most services are Free to student organizations.

Here are some resources to consider as you brand your organization.

University Brand Guide [2]

Before you produce any t-shirt, giveaway or other promotional item, it is good to have Tami Breymeyer, the director of licensing, review the design to make sure it follows K-State guidelines. Contact Tami at 785-532-6269 or email at tami@k-state.edu [3].

Promote your event

K-State Today [4]– Promote your event in K-State Today. K-State Today is a daily e-newsletter sent to faculty, staff and students. Submit information for K-State Today here [5].

Posters [6]– Print your posters, banners, and more at University Printing [7] and hang them on appropriate bulletin boards around campus. For information and guidelines, visit the posting policy [6]. You can also submit posters to the Union and Housing and Dining, but you have to contact them to get approval.

Contact Union Marketing [8] to get approval in the Union.
Contact Housing [9] to submit promotions to the residence halls.

Chalking [10]– Promoting your event on campus sidewalks is a great way to get the word out to the campus community. Just make sure you follow the chalk policy [10]. Here are a few highlights.

Only washable chalk. Spray chalk or spray paint is not allowed.
Only chalk on flat, paved/concrete surfaces. (Not on steps, pillars, or walls.)
