We are a cohesive team of creative and strategic thinkers who build Pratt’s brand and reputation through compelling stories, imagery, and branded materials. As Pratt’s in-house communications and marketing team, we collaborate with our campus colleagues, serving as strategic partners and guides to ensure that they achieve their institutional goals.
Our team manages and oversees many of the Institute’s communications and marketing areas. Our responsibilities include:
- creative services,
- digital news and content development,
- media relations,
- web and digital communications,
- marketing and communications strategy,
- social media, photo and video initiatives, and more.
We are eager to partner with our colleagues to promote their students and programs, to co-own the Institute’s brand with us, and to develop effective new communications channels together.
