Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing

The mission of the Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing is to create awareness while enhancing the image and reputation of Augustana University.

Telling the Augustana story is the goal of each image, advertisement and event produced by our staff. We aim to project a consistent brand identity, establish and promote events that celebrate the joy of Augustana, report campus news, maintain strong relationships to the media and broader Sioux Falls community, recognize the achievements of our students, professors and alumni, and target communication to each of our audiences using a variety of media.

To schedule and/or request a project, please email your request to marketing@augie.edu. Please allow 24-48 hours for a response.
