Description

Creative Design Services-Ulster University wishes to appoint a single supplier to help us realise our growth ambitions. An extension of our own team who will embrace and ambassador the brand as we do, to fortify brand excellence in all that we do. Brand management is one of the most complex management challenges for universities. The globalisation of the education sector and increasing competition in higher education means that brands have increasingly become a strategic asset to be carefully developed with its value protected and grown. A strong brand benefits us all. If a university thrives, the value of its brand will increase, in turn creating a virtuous loop as academics, students and funding are drawn in. We seek a partner who understands our goals and adds value in achieving and exceeding them. There will be one Contract to provide: Art Working - Graphic layout from existing templates based on Ulster University brand guidelines. Brand Design - Concept creation of sub brand, logo or brand lock up, including research, mood boards, concepts presentation and finally delivery of brand with associated guidelines. Video - Producing story boards, on occasion scripts and managing logistics through to complete edit. Completing with captions, name plates and graphic cards. Where necessary producing and executing video content for cinema and TV including management of Clearcast, clocking and Peach upload. Photography - Capturing photographs of our buildings and facilities to artistically celebrate the investment in our students and in Northern Ireland.
