Resources & FAQs
What to Expect
In determining how we can assist you best, we will ask for any background materials you can provide. Proposals, websites, and previous coverage help us understand what you have going on. For news releases, newsletter stories, or social media, we often need to schedule a brief interview and photoshoot that typically takes 30-45 minutes. For more in-depth media development, additional meetings may be required.

News Releases
The upside to news releases is that they help reach the widest possible audience. They are written to let reporters, editors, and producers know about your work in hopes they produce broader, more in-depth news stories. When we keep the release simple and free of technical language, we vastly improve our chances of getting coverage.
Newsletter Stories
The college and several departments regularly publish newsletters to highlight the accomplishments of faculty members and students. This is an excellent way to reach alumni, colleagues, and university supporters. A newsletter story is a good option for awards and honors that may be a big deal in your profession but don't necessitate a news release. It's also a good option for those concerned that the simplicity of a news release lacks the distinction they feel necessary to convey their work.
Social Media Posts
Facebook and Twitter posts are a great way to spread the word about some of the other honors, awards, and events that make Clemson proud. Good examples are announcements about scholarships, poster contests, and winners of best paper awards.
Videos
These are typically used for websites, awards ceremonies, social media announcements, and to accompany news releases. PROMO Group can help with the production of your video project.
PowerPoint Presentations
Powerpoint templates are available to assist with presentations. You can find these on our Resources page.
