Who We Are
Overview of Services
Brand & Identity: The marketing & communications office ensures the appropriate and consistent use of Whitworth's brand standards, including logo use, oversees adherence to Whitworth's editorial style, and provides policies and guidelines for the use of university associated blogs and social media accounts.
Marketing & Advertising: We work to increase awareness and visibility of Whitworth to prospective students and families, alumni, and the community, across the region and nationally. We collaborate with university departments to identify marketing objectives, develop marketing strategies (including social media) and connect them with resources to achieve their goals.
Media Relations: To increase Whitworth's visibility locally, regionally and nationally, our media relations manager engages with the media to provide timely, unique and relevant news and information about Whitworth and its community. We also oversee media visits to campus, pitch stories and offer media protocol training. Have a story you'd like us to tell? Pitch it to our associate director of media relations.
Publications: We manage and produce online and print publications like Whitworth Today and the Mind & Heart newsletter. Our writers and editors seek out stories, interview alumni, students and community members, develop content, and edit and revise all external facing text.
