Marketing Request
A Message from Graham Garner, Chief Marketing Officer
The Valencia College Marketing and Strategic Communications is here for your end-of-fiscal-year needs. If you have a marketing project that needs new design or development, copywriting or photography — before the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2026, — now is the time to make those requests.
In order to serve you best and complete the invoices in line with our financial calendars, the Marketing and Strategic Communications team requests that you submit projects via a marketing request form prior to April 1, 2026. Please note that the date was selected to align with the College’s budget and procurement office schedule for 2026.
Following submission, a representative will follow up with a timeline and confirmation on the schedule of the project based on the outlined scope of services. The team will make every effort to accommodate emergency projects for requests received after April 1 with completion targets by year-end and within required budget deadlines. Please note that this does not apply to requests for event photography, which can be made at any time.
Consultations are available if you have questions about submitting your marketing services request. To request a consultation, select “Consultation” in the form below.
The department also provides a variety of branded templates that can be downloaded for use right away. Visit the brand website to browse templates and check out examples of the marketing department’s recent work.
If you have questions, please contact Gladys Zapata Ayala, executive assistant, at gzapata2@valenciacollege.edu.
