Department Marketing Recap: 2015


Campus Digital Signage to 5 campuses and 30 displays. 

June 2015
  • Posters/Postcards: Created and distributed promotional posters and postcards to High school advisers and career counselors.
  • Summer 2015 ATPI Teacher’s Conference: Many of you don’t know that we hosted the Summer ATPI teacher’s conference.
Attended:
41 HS photography faculty from
29 cities from
6 states. Including Massachusetts, Kansas, California, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas.

They spent 2 days in workshops and curriculum building which allowed us time to show them around the department and walk them through our website and degree plans. Several said they would like to come take short classes themselves next summer if we offered them. Maybe non-credit but 1 week of intense content. LR, Studio Lighting, PS. Other studio techniques. These teachers also asked about having an open house to bring their students to visit from out of town.  












Keith Rizzo Hosted Corvette Photographer Richard Prince Lecture: Keith to give overview.

What’s next for 2016?

Faculty Notables: We want to acknowledge and celebrate your success on our website and media stream. Over the course of the semester we will roll out a form where you can share your accomplishments. 

ACC Photo Dept. Meetup Group  We started a Meetup group before fall prints show. Since then we’ve acquired over 100 new members.  Most are not current students. 1 confirmed registration into Digital II for spring is from this group. ACC Photography Department Meetup Group

Highland Mall Image Displays: The campus manager at the new Highland Mall campus has asked our department to display students images throughout the campus. We have an opportunity to build a new hospitality package for the new Highland Mall campus. 

We'll have three tiers of permanent installation at the Highland Mall campus. 
One tier is the large format print installation.
Second is the department print show winners.
Third is department work at large. 

We are coordinating with the Highland Mall campus on all their artwork needs. The college has offered to provide budget to create an more upscale installation. This gives us a unique presence in their new flagship campus. Sean, Frank and Kat surveyed and discussed the initial installations. Yam will be leading the installation as we roll out the work. 













Equipment Swap Social: Current students, alumni, faculty, Meetup group. There has been an ongoing requests for an event like this where people can swap, sell and trade gear. This will hopefully do two things. One, offer our students a gear night where they can build their gear inventory or sell off what they no longer need. Second, we see this as an opportunity to show off our space and build community. 


Update Department Digital Slideshow Promotion: Robert Gomez and Kat will be working on gathering content for an updated marketing slideshow. Including students and faculty working in studios, labs and behind the scenes clips. This will be used to show an overview of the department and culture to groups like ATPI, Meetup, any kind of marketing platform that might fit. We need faculty assistance to schedule real or mock shoots to create content.
