Marketing
When you want your message to reach a specific population
or when you want to promote a specific event or program, we can
help. Please contact the PR office about help in developing a
marketing plan – what’s your goal, who you want to reach,
how you will communicate with them and what you want to say, what
you want them to do, what your timeline is, etc.
Printing and
Publications Development
Departmental brochures are designed in a standard format to
all look like they come from the same institution. Information
included in departmental brochures includes philosophy, description
of the basic program, listing of required courses, contact phone
number, and 3-4 photos. We can help you put copy together, but
we will rely on you to provide the “meat” of the narrative
in the brochure. We can shoot photos for you or you can check
our files for high quality, appropriate images. These brochures
are printed in black and white.

Internal Publications
The Exchange is a quarterly newsletter with 5,000+
distribution that is is sent to faculty and staff across the system.
News included must have wide appeal and should focus be focused
on the future -- upcoming events, new programs, etc. -- instead
of recaps of past news. If you would like to submit news, email
jackie.bondurant@kctcs.edu
Online Headlines is a bi-weekly
email newsletter that is designed to keep faculty and staff updated
on various system news - events, board action, strategic planning,
professional development opportunities, college news and other
timely topics. OLHL is internal so we also include “family”
type news there. If you would like to submit news, email jackie.bondurant@kctcs.edu.
Today's News is a daily email news
update designed to provide current news that has been published
in various newspapers or other publications. Both systemwide and
college news items are included from both national and local publications.
Please email items to jackie.bondurant@kctcs.edu.
Photography
The Public Relations Office makes digital cameras available for you to take photographs
of your event or program. Reservation of these cameras is handled through the event reservation process in Institutional Advancement. If you require professional photography
for a special brochure or event, we can arrange that for you as
well. You will be responsible for paying for the services of a
professional photographer. We are free, however.
If you want to use a photograph to illustrate
a printed brochure or promotional piece, we have an extensive
collection of slides and digital photos.
If we don’t have what you want, we
can arrange to have a special photograph taken.
For help with photography, please email
philip.brashear@kctcs.edu.
Tabletop Display
or Promotional Booth
Please contact us to reserve the tabletop display as soon
as you know when you will need it. We keep a calendar and sometimes
book several months in advance.

the display, we will demonstrate that for you in the office prior
to the time you will need the display.
Photographs are available for use with
the display. They are mounted on foamcore and have Velcro stickers
on the back so they will stick to the display. We also have a
variety of promotional material you can take with you to distribute.
