All marketing request submissions must follow UL MarCom submission requirements: 

• All Marketing requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of the need by date.  
  • Event requests: Unit need by dates should allow for at least 1-2 weeks promotional visibility for increased success. (Be sure to include your timeframe for printing as well!)
  • While 2 weeks is our minimum requirement for submission, please review our timeline outcomes below for a more in-depth understanding of what you can expect given your request submission timeline.  
• Marketing requests must be submitted with all necessary details to allow completion.  
• Marketing deliverables must be reviewed for content accuracy by requesters in a timely manner. 

• Submitted 6+ weeks in advance: You will receive a full project design for request. 
• Submitted less than four weeks in advance: You will receive an update of a previous design, or our team will use a template for request. (Unless time and projects permit.) 
• Submitted less than two weeks in advance: Receive whatever materials time will allow for. 
  • For event-based requests, if this does not allow for 1 – 2 weeks’ visibility of your event, it is a high probability that the event will have a low turnout due to insufficient promotional visibility. 
• Less than one week: This will need to be discussed with the UL MarCom Director/ Associate Director directly. 
  • If it is not an event specific request, but an infographic, brochure, etc., we may be able to use a template. Requests such as these must be discussed with ULSS MarComm staff. 

Certain exceptions may occur. Please reach out to the UL MarCom Director/ Associate Director to discuss options after submitting request. 

For more information on why it is important to submit marketing requests as soon as possible, please review a few of our sample timelines below.
