‘We never stopped playing offense’
Purdue’s marketing leadership had a vision of the organization necessary to make the biggest possible impact. The Marketing and Communications team steadily built toward that vision during the 2020-21 academic year, even amidst the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was a distinct challenge to onboard 13 new staff members in an all-virtual environment. But after adding talented newcomers in creative services, marketing strategy, strategic communications and technology and operations, the team was better positioned to share Purdue’s remarkable story with the world.

Our university is a place of brilliant minds, fresh ideas and actions that move our world forward. And our department is privileged to tell the story with an omni-channel approach.
