Save time, stay on message: Use Purdue-branded communication resources

From PowerPoint templates to campus image galleries, Purdue Marketing and Communications’ online toolbox will help you create material that is on brand and consistently compelling. 

Persistently pursuing together 

In our various campus roles, the things we say and do tell the world who Purdue is and why our work matters. We are all communicators. And at Purdue, we always, always take our next steps together.  

So whether you are a seasoned pro when it comes to communications, or you’ve been asked to create content and you’re not sure where to start, the MarCom toolbox has what you need to stay on message and in character.  

“The system is easy to use, intuitive and has dozens of templates to suit any need. It also saves us time and creates efficiency by providing a platform where we can collaborate on shared documents. As a result, even individuals without a background in graphic design can create beautiful, effective, in-brand assets that clearly fit within the university’s overall communication strategy,” says Andrea Mattingly, communication director, Student Success Programs.
