UC San Diego Marketing Council

The Marketing Council mission is to network and share information that enables members to engage in marketing and communications best practices to promote consistent branding on behalf of the university as a whole as well as for individual campus units. This is accomplished by:

• Promoting and upholding campus-wide brand identity standards
• Sharing marketing-related information, activities, best practices and challenges
• Learning from colleague/ professional development presentations
• Serving as a portal for coordination, implementation and promotion of campus-wide activities when needed

Congratulations on another incredible year, and thank you for your continued support and participation with the Marketing Council. Now that commencement is over, the Chairs want to invite you to our end-of-year mixer, to say thank you and network more informally.

We will also be announcing the new chairs for the upcoming year, and I’m sure they will want to chat with you all as the Marketing Council takes a break over the summer to prep for 2019-2020.
