Getting Started

Examples of deliverables that the Communications team provides include, but are not limited to, print brochures and mailers, news stories, emails, webpages and photo galleries. Projects vary greatly depending on the communications plan and deliverables, but most will include the following basic steps:

Make your request. You can fill out our simple form below.
Within 48 hours: A member of the team will let you know that we received your request.
Planning, production schedule, and budget: Before we start work, we’ll share a production schedule. Our team wants to ensure that you stay within your budget for all print and design jobs. We will provide postage, printing, and design pricing estimates once we process your request. Please note that all projects outside of enrollment management will require a budget line to cover ​all ​​expenses for print, design time, and any other related production costs.
Development: Once you’ve agreed to a schedule and budget, we will develop material to share with you, with opportunities for collaboration, feedback and revision.
Approval and delivery: Once you are happy with the work, we will arrange to deliver a final product.

Plan Ahead

We will always do our best to assist you quickly. So that we can give you the attention you deserve, please submit your requests with as much advance notice as possible. All projects are individual and require different lead times, but the guidelines below can help.

If you aren’t sure how much time you’ll need to develop something—or think you’ve missed the window of opportunity—don’t worry. We’ll do whatever we can to help. Email Kathleen Merusi, senior project manager, at kmerusi@drew.edu for guidance.
