Branded Templates

The University's brand template tool, Marq (formerly Lucidpress) is a marketing hub of branded templates available to designated University users. Marketing has engaged with Marq to supplement our custom marketing, advertising and design work with an option for easy, repeatable and editable templates for popular deliverables.

What can you do with brand templates?

We’ve designed various templates for printed pieces like flyers, posters and postcards along with digital and social media templates to customize, download, print and share — all on your own. You can find a template, make your own copy, customize it to your needs and then (once approved by an approver) download for print or digital use. The templates are super easy to use and have our branding ready to go. The templates were tested with a pilot group of users and include their suggestions. We believe you’ll benefit from their experience and suggestions.

These templates aren't about replacing the high-concept campaigns and personality-driven design, campaign and other professional marketing work. They're about empowering you to execute everyday marketing with confidence and consistency. These templates are intended to serve quick, repeatable work, requiring simple image or textual updates. Need to announce an event? Grab a template, throw in your details, and watch the RSVPs roll in. Have a killer online resource begging for a shareable graphic? Marq's got your back.

Quick Tips

The following tips will help you get your bearings in Marq.

My Projects

When you choose to use a template, you will be asked to rename it, and then a copy gets placed in My Projects. This prevents any user for overwriting the templates.

Images

Marq includes an integration for Bing and Unsplash stock images, and we have also stocked Marq with many of our favorite images from recent UW-Green Bay photo shoots, along with a collection of icons in both Phoenix green and white. These all live in Brand Images. (Make sure to adjust the dropdown as Marq will default to My Images.)

Downloads

In order to output a template, it must first go to an approver for approval. Please send your template for approval to the marketing person assigned to your area or type of template. Once approved, you will receive an email from Marq, letting you know your document is ready for you to output.

Helpful Tips

Each template includes notes on how to maximize the template along with how-to’s, e.g. how to find more images, how to print, etc.

Printing 

Flyers, Posters & Other Printing

The method you use to print your piece depends on the size of your order. Small orders—less than 500 count—are handled through the UW-Green Bay copy center (DigiCOPY). Orders greater than 500 may need to be purchased from an external print vendor.

Less Than 500

After your document is approved, upload a PDF to the DigiCOPY Portal. They will need to know:

  • Quantity:
  • Paper Choice:
  • PO #:
  • Revenue Code:
  • Any Special Handling (like folding or trimming):
  • Delivery Contact:
    Delivery will be to Central Receiving. Please provide a contact name for Central Receiving to alert when delivered.

More Than 500

You will need to contact our print manager, Tammy Papineau papineat@uwgb.edu. She'll make sure you get quality production and the order is in compliance with state procurement rules that govern external printing. For more information, visit our Print Purchasing page.
