LET’S BEGIN

The Office of Communications is willing and available to assist in the creation of marketing communications, but materials are not required to be made by communications staff. However, they need be presented to the Communications Office for approval to ensure uniformity of message and brand appearance.

Get Approved

Mass communication is the process of creating and sending messages to large audiences through verbal or written media. At Cristo Rey, our audiences include:

• Parents

• Current or prospective benefactors

• Colleges and Universities

• General Public

• Prospective students/families

• CWSP partners

• Volunteers

Email the Marketing & Communications Manager at least two days prior to the anticipated general distribution date. Our office will approve, provide recommendations, or work with you to make changes so that the voice and appearance of the piece is in line with the school’s brand standards.

Requesting Materials

Communications loves to support your work through design, development, or consultation for your projects. You c an:

1. Email, call, or visit in-person to the Communications office to explain your project.

2. For a fast and efficient project, think through the following considerations:

• Do I have the proper authorization for this project to move forward?

• Who is the audience(s)?

• What’s intended outcome? People will know? Respond? Attend?

• Do I have a clear process of how people can respond?

• What date would I like this to be distributed?

• How would I like this to be received? Print? Digital? Text/robocall? Website?

Requests will be reviewed by the Marketing and Communications team and prioritized based on current workload and urgency of other projects. Once a request has been submitted expect a response, including completion date, within two full working days.
