Creative Consulting and Planning

Engineering Communications Office

Engineering Communications staff members work with faculty and staff to bring creativity, innovation, and relevance to communications.

Planning is a key to the successful outcome of any communication project. Including us at the beginning of the planning process can help ensure that your projects are effective, within budget, and reflect the quality and image goals of your program, the College of Engineering, and the University of Illinois.

We can help you define the market, identify the best methods for reaching the target audience, create a high-impact message, and determine the best delivery method(s). Initial discussions typically focus on the following topics:

Key goals and purposes
Audiences
Alternatives (what medium or product will deliver the message)
Budget
Quantity
Branding
Distribution plan
Ideas for content (text, photos, and so forth)
Roles and responsibilities
