About

As part of University Advancement, we foster relationships between NC State and its many constituents through strategic communications that convey the university’s brand identity.

What Drives Us

University Communications and Marketing (UComm) plays a vital role in driving NC State forward. Our goal is to be the most effective strategic communications and marketing team in the Triangle region and among all U.S. public universities.

As NC State’s central, in-house creative agency, UComm provides the campus community with professional communications strategy and services to ensure successful, on-brand, targeted, collaborative communications that help NC State achieve its mission.

Working with colleges and units, UComm leads and supports NC State’s communications focus across a variety of functions, including consulting, comprehensive planning, public and media relations, marketing, web communications, social media, internal and constituent communications, crisis communications, publications and graphic design.

Proven Success

We think we’re good at what we do — and our peers agree. Our work has claimed national and regional honors, and we’re respected as communications experts in higher education and beyond.
