Branding is the way you are perceived by your audience, whether they be prospective admissions for your constituent members, conference partners, current student athletes, parents, donors, or the community at large. Communications media is the means by which you deliver your message to this audience, be it via legacy media such as newspapers and direct mail or digital media platforms such as websites, social media and email.
