Communications and Marketing
Strategic Communications and Marketing
The Office of Communications and Marketing leads the college’s communications and marketing strategy, advancing Walters State’s mission, priorities and goals.
We partner with departments across the college to identify audiences, shape messages and determine the most effective ways to reach them. Our team provides strategic direction and expertise in marketing, creative services, media relations, digital communications and storytelling while ensuring a consistent and professional Walters State brand.
Planning & Timelines
Communications and Marketing works with campus partners to determine the best approach for reaching your audience and meeting your goals. Submitting a project request starts that conversation. Depending on the project, our team may recommend a different approach, timeline, format, or communications strategy than what was originally requested.
Please submit requests as early as possible. Lead times vary depending on the scope of the project, the services needed, and current workload. Providing complete content and responding promptly to questions or proofs helps us keep your project on schedule.
General Planning Guidelines
- News releases and media publicity: At least 2 weeks
- Routine design projects: 2–3 weeks
- Photography and video coverage: At least 2 weeks
- Larger publications, campaigns, or complex projects: 4–6 weeks or more
- The Senator submissions: 10 a.m. Friday for consideration the following week
- WSCC website and catalog updates: usually within 2 weeks

and work with you to determine what is feasible within the available timeframe.
