UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING

Empowering Zips to be Strong Ambassadors

UCM is working to equip University of Akron employees with the information needed to be strong ambassadors of our institution. To achieve this goal, we have several initiatives underway, including several tip sheets to help employees navigate interviews with the media, tell their stories well, present to prospective students and manage social media.

New UA recruitment television ads kicked off Oct. 25, 2021, in Northeast Ohio, Columbus, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The ads will run during morning and evening local and national news, prime time, late night and during select college football games and Browns pre-game shows. The ads will appear more than 2,500 times across all four markets during the campaign.
