With extensive experience in both print and digital media, we help all campus offices and departments achieve their marketing and communication goals.

We concept, plan, write, design, and execute materials and communication that reaches out to internal and external audiences; attracts people to events; and delivers important information effectively and creatively through articulating and implementing Augsburg’s branding initiative. When a project demands expertise or equipment beyond what’s available on campus, we coordinate with outside vendors and consultants to complete your project.

How We Work

Due to a large volume of requests, we must receive all materials for your project at least six weeks before the date of your project or event. For smaller projects and updates, we request a two-week lead time. This will help us to prioritize and schedule various ongoing communications accordingly.

To submit a request, please use the button on the right. Please understand that completing a request form does not guarantee that a webpage, publication, or photographer will be available. We are happy to work with you to find the best solutions to meet your goals.

Photography and Video

To ensure that the institutional funds spent on freelance photography and/or videography return maximum value to the institution, Augsburg departments hiring such freelancers should:

• enter into a signed contract with the freelancer stipulating that photos and videos produced are “Work for Hire” and granting Augsburg perpetual and unlimited rights to use the assets. Contract template
• share the final photos/footage delivered to you with the Office of Marketing and Communication for long-term storage. This allows the institution to retain the assets it has purchased for future use.
• use the sub-object 6675 when approving payment of the resulting invoice. This allows us to track the amount spent on such freelancers across the institution.
• prior to the photo or video shoot, share with the freelancer Augsburg’s Brand Photography and Videography Style. This guides the photographer and helps ensure that the photos will also be suitable for both current and potential future uses by the institution.

Please submit a marketing request through the project management system to have MarComm assist you with photos and videos, or email Douachee Lee (leedoua@augsburg.edu) with questions or for help identifying a suitable freelancer.
