Purdue Marketing Communications (formally the Office of Publications) provides communication, marketing, and advertising services for the University. Typical projects range from communications strategies to printed advertising and marketing materials and from Web sites to exhibit displays and billboards.

Projects include catalogs, campus maps, the Faculty and Staff Roster, facts booklets, Purdue Reports, admissions materials, the telephone directory, the Purdue Advisor, General Information, the University financial report, the Faculty and Staff Handbook, University Regulations, Data Digest, financial aid materials, the summer sessions bulletin, schedules of classes, marketing materials, and scores of publications for schools/colleges, departments, and offices of the University.

To ensure consistency throughout the University's publications and provide maximum service, all publications except those of the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Cooperative Extension Service, and Intercollegiate Athletics must be channeled through the marketing communications office. The project must carry the approval of the director of publications before a purchase requisition will be processed or before Printing Services will proceed with the printing. (See Executive Memorandum C-5.)

In addition, Purdue Marketing Communications holds similar responsibility for Purdue's official Web site. (See Executive Memorandum C-42.)

The creative teams provide assistance with writing, editing, designing, Web design and programming, and photography without charge to University schools/colleges, departments, and offices on a first-come, first-served basis.
