³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Asset Library

The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Asset Library contains over 250,000 images for the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ community to view and download.

 

The Brand and Creative team is responsible for ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s brand, including our brand strategy, visual and verbal identity, and the creative services that bring the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ story to life.

We help colleagues across the university communicate effectively, ensuring that everything we produce looks and sounds distinctively ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. Our remit is wide-ranging, from supporting individual staff and students to developing faculty and departmental identities, delivering creative campaigns, producing publications and digital content, commissioning photography, creating merchandise and signage, and shaping our campus brand experience.

As an in-house creative services team, we work with colleagues across the university and partner organisations to develop creative solutions that build our brand, enhance our reputation, support strategic objectives and deliver results. Whether you are looking to promote an event, engage a particular audience, launch a campaign or communicate a complex message, we can help you find the most effective approach within your timescale and budget.

Our audiences span the full breadth of the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ community and beyond, including prospective students, current students and staff, alumni, partners, industry, healthcare providers, government stakeholders and local communities.

Our team brings together expertise in:

  • Brand: stewardship of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s brand strategy, visual and verbal identity, brand governance, guidelines, resources and training.
  • Editorial: campaign messaging, copywriting, editing, proofreading, tone of voice guidance and content development.
