Telling the OU-Tulsa Story

The OU-Tulsa Marketing and Communications team develops and executes effective and impactful communication and marketing strategies to build and strengthen the OU-Tulsa brand. We oversee all university promotional and marketing material, as well as this very OU-Tulsa websit and assets shared on social media, including photos and video. Likewise, we oversee all internal and external communication, including outside media organizations, as well as crisis communication and university event planning.

Our duty is to support the mission and goals of OU-Tulsa by facilitating best practices across all communication platforms, as well as developing and ensuring adherence to a unified marketing and communication strategy. This work can only be successful if we strive to serve all the entirity of OU-Tulsa, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, donors, and the greater Tulsa community.

In short: We're here to help you!

Graphic and Web Design

As important as what you say is how you say it, and in marketing and online communication, this frequently comes down to good design. From posters and social media graphics to billboards and yard signs, the OU-Tulsa Marketing Department can help ensure your message is told with clarity and professionalism. We also oversee the OU-Tulsa website, both for the informational benefit of students, faculty, and staff as well as marketing to potential students.

Photography

The OU-Tulsa story is told through photography more than any other medium. From selfies of lunch on campus to headshots taken in our professional studio, images convey what it means to be part of our community. OU-Tulsa Marcomm staff includes professional photographers to capture unforgettable images at official OU-Tulsa functions as well as in day-to-day life around campus.

We frequently hold "headshot days" in our studio, a period of several hours over the course of a day where we invite anyone who needs a headshot to stop by our studio to have one taken. We send e-mails periodically informing the community of the next upcoming headshot day.
