Communications & Marketing

The Communications and Marketing department works closely with all college departments to create and enhance public awareness of Bates programs, through printed materials, public and media relations, website development and many other avenues.

The office provides comprehensive services for:

• Graphic design of flyers, brochures, posters, and more
• Copywriting and editing
• Website development
• Media relations
• Electronic communications, including our Bates Bulletin blog
• Strategic marketing and promotional planning
• Bates logos, letterhead or business cards

We work closely with you to ensure the highest quality content and graphic standards in all college materials. Accordingly, all materials intended for public distribution need to come through the Communications and Marketing department before they are reproduced or circulated to their intended audience(s).

How to get started

Getting a project started on the right foot is a big key to success. Let us help you plan from the beginning. We offer design, writing and editing services to the college at no cost.

Complete a Communications Project Request form and upload your text and any photos or graphic images you'd like to use.

Please allow a minimum of three weeks to receive a proof of your project. If it is necessary for us to draft content for materials, you should allow for a longer period of time.

Printing
Departments are responsible for coordinating their own printing through General Services. Communications and Marketing will provide you with a CD of your files and you should send those with a Print Request Form to General Services.

Bates Logo

Help us maintain the integrity of the Bates brand. Bates' logo is available in blue, black and white.  Take care when re-sizing a logo within a document to "lock aspect ratio" so as not to distort the image.

The logo:

• should be printed in blue, black or white only.
• can be printed as white only when reversed out of a dark background.
• should be placed in a way that there is at least 1/4" of blank space surrounding it.

If you have an old version of an old Bates logo, do not use it. If you are unsure about whether you are using the correct logo, or are placing it properly, drop us an email or give us a call (x7106). We're happy to help!
