How We Tell Our Story

UWM’s brand is our best tool for sharing the university’s mission and goals.

The Importance of a Unified University Brand

The UWM brand is more than just a logo. It’s a multitude of elements working together to effectively communicate what UWM most values: student success, research and community engagement.

Chancellor Mark A. Mone has designated strengthening UWM’s brand as a key strategic action to create a sustainable future for the university. He has given Marketing & Communications responsibility for achieving that goal and authority to define and enforce brand standards for the university. This website has been created to give marketers across campus the tools and guidance to help us in our work.

While marketing happens in many areas at UWM, we must never lose sight of the fact that we are one university in the eyes of the public, and of prospective students. We must speak with one voice and present a consistent image, showcasing UWM as the high-impact, top-tier research university that we know it to be.
