Marketing & Communications Account Executive System

All departments within EVMS are assigned to a specific Marketing & Communications staff member, an “account executive”. The account system is intended to facilitate communication between the Office of Marketing & Communications and the campus community.

This is the person anyone in your department may speak with about newsworthy items or for help with services provided by our department. Your executive also serves as your department’s liaison with the news media. All communication with the media — print, broadcast or online — should be filtered through your representative.

Find your account executive by downloading the Office of Marketing & Communications brochure (PDF).

Publications

The Office of Marketing & Communications produces a variety of institutional publications, including EVMS Magazine and Making the Rounds, EVMS’ e-newsletter.

To submit faculty or student note information or let us know about a story idea, please call or e-mail your account executive.

Creative Services

Marketing & Communications offers a range of creative services to help present your program in the best possible light. We can assist with the development and printing of materials such as brochures and displays that meet the school’s brand standards.

We can print certain limited-run items in-house at significantly lower rates than outside printers, or we can coordinate printing of more complex projects with outside vendors. We also offer limited photography services as staff scheduling allows.

For assistance on your project, please fill out this form to get started.

Visual Standards and Style Guide

The way EVMS presents itself visually is an important aspect of building the school’s identity throughout the community.

The new standards are the result of a comprehensive assessment of the visual image EVMS displays. Our new appearance conveys our pride and presents EVMS as a vibrant, dynamic center of education and care. It is important that this look be incorporated across campus to maintain a professional, cohesive appearance in all materials flowing from EVMS. This also will increase community awareness of the school as people become familiar with our look — our “brand.”

Several templates are provided on this website for routine uses such as stationery and business cards. These are quick ways for EVMS faculty and staff to follow the branding guidelines. However, the creative services team in the Office of Marketing and Communication is available to assist in the creation of complex custom designs.

Thank you for taking the time to review and adhere to these standards.
For more information, please contact art directors Joy Ellinor or John Comerford at 446-7070.
