Content Strategy Services
Are you launching or relaunching a website or landing page, and need written web content? Are you looking at strategically reorganizing an existing website to better serve specific audiences? Do you need audience research? MarCom has partnered with several agencies with expertise in content strategy and web copywriting to connect University departments with content strategists and creators.
The Content Strategy list is designed to save campus time and money by providing these benefits:
- There is no dollar limit on projects contracted through one of these agencies.
- There is no need for an RFP (Request for Proposal) for work under $25,000.
- You do not have to use the lowest price vendor, and you do not need to seek multiple bids. You are free to use any vendor in the program who you feel most suits your needs.
- All listed agencies have been trained on the University of Arizona brand and are in close contact with Central Marketing & Communications and Campus Web Services for advice and questions on alignment with both our brand and digital ecosystem.
The vendors listed have been evaluated by central Marketing & Brand Management and judged to be superior for quality of written content and research, project management, and ability to meet deadlines and price. Agencies listed are up to date on University branding, connected with central MarCom, and able to capably produce an on-brand product at an accessible price point.
Services covered by creative agencies in this program include:
- Research & audience insights (analytics, keyword research, competitive analysis, etc.)
- Information architecture & wireframes (UX, accessibility, branding)
- Content creation & distribution (written content across digital media, limited site-building services in collaboration with Campus Web Services)
Other services may not be included. Please see other pages for services such as media buying, creative services, promotional products and print services.
