Marketing Services & Media Relations at Yavapai College

Charged with the overall marketing and promotion of the College, we do this through multiple communication vehicles and by working in partnership with faculty and staff.

We offer several services to the college community and we're only a phone call or e-mail away.

Services include:
  • Assistance with writing a press release through its distribution.

Can I write and post my own news release?

Because this office is responsible for Yavapai College's media relations, all contact with the media must be coordinated through Interact Communications at YC.

Our Communications Manager is available to assist you with researching and writing a news release or public service announcement for your program or event. It will help to speed the production of your release if you compile in advance the pertinent information (who, what, where, when, why, and how), along with any publicity photos that you may have.

While it is possible for you to draft the content of your own news release, it must then be shared with a communications manager for review, possible edit, and distribution to the media. This procedure works well because this office has established contacts with journalists and an up-to-date media list to maximize exposure.

Have questions? Please feel free to contact Marketing Services at marketingmgr@yc.edu.  

I Need a Printed Brochure, Flyer, Postcard, etc.

Yavapai College's Design Services is here to help. To initiate a design project, the design team needs a marketing request form or "MRF" that details the project specifications and allows them to schedule and track it.
