You can also directly email the Moody Marketing/PR (including for Moody Messenger notices): MoodyCollegePR@austin.utexas.edu; however, if you do, please copy Elana Wakeman so that she's in the loop and can share on RTF sites and catalog for reports about RTF accomplishments and information we send to the trades.


Event Promotion

Procedures

  • Allow as much time as possible for promoting events—preferably 2 months' notice. Any thing less than a month makes it harder to draw audience as it takes time to create the assets and post details on calendars and via messaging. Note: Moody College requires images for digital monitors and kiosks to be created and submitted 3 weeks before an event (by Elana to Caroline Cox), in order to be posted 2 weeks before the event.
  • Please do not try to create your own marketing graphic assets. We need to comply with Moody College/UT Branding Guidelines.
  • Identify classes that are like-minded and ask the faculty member to consider: including your lecture on their syllabus and/or offering extra credit to their classes for attendance
  • You may either work with RTF's Sr. Programs and Communications Coordinator, or in some instances when the College is co-sponsoring an event, with the Moody College Marketing & Communications team.
  • To work within RTF...consult with Elana Wakeman with regards to promoting your event on College display monitors, social media, calendars, websites, and e-newsletters.
    Discuss:
    1. event purpose & goals
    2. title of event
    3. description of the event
    4. target audience
    5. date, location & time of event
    6. list of co-sponsors, if any
    7. visual assets needed (such as speaker headshots, film posters, book covers, etc.) 
    8. promotion timeline
    9. post-event coverage
