Marketing and Communications

The Office of Marketing and Communications develops and manages the marketing, communication, and recruitment strategies for the University.

The Marketing and Communications Office serves as a strategic arm of the university which facilitates key marketing and outreach campaigns. We collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to develop targeted marketing and communications plans and materials for programs, events, and university initiatives.

To ensure that your project is prioritized and captured efficiently, please submit any requests using the appropriate form or email below.

All members of the university community are expected to follow the Nipissing University Brand Standards when producing materials that represent the institution. These standards are designed to ensure that all communications not only reflect our identity with clarity and professionalism but also meet accessibility requirements as outlined by the AODA.

Requesting Brand Assets and Guidance

The Marketing and Communications Office is here to support you in using the brand confidently and correctly. Whether you’re designing a presentation, developing a campaign, or producing digital content, our team can provide the tools and advice you need.
