Does Creative Services or MarCom create videos?
We work on some institutional videos internally, but we usually contract with outside vendors to meet most videos. We have a short list of resources we can provide upon request.
Public Relations and Content
I want to pitch a story about a student, program, faculty or staff member for UMSL Daily, UMSL Magazine or the broader media market. What should I do?
We love to receive story ideas about people in the UMSL community who are excelling or making an impact. Please reach out to Steve at
walentiks@umsl.edu
or any other member of the contact team to share those ideas. The team will discuss your ideas during a weekly editorial meeting to determine if they’re a good fit, realizing that we aim to showcase the full breadth of the university.
I would like help writing and distributing a press release about a project I’m working on. What should I do?
If you have a project that is newsworthy beyond just an UMSL audience, we can assist you with trying to get that story out to a wider audience in local, regional or national media. We can help draft press releases and play a lead role in their distribution or we can pitch stories directly to news reporters. Contact Steve at
walentiks@umsl.edu
or other members of the content team to discuss those projects.
