RATIONALE Effective communications is vital in an institution especially in effectively and efficiently getting the message across external customers. Consistently applying strategies in promoting and protecting the institutional brand is of vital importance whether it is through brochures and other printed publications paid advertising, media relations, promotional videos, TV commercials, Web pages, direct mail or other means. The empowerment of the various groups that make up the organizational structure of MQCPI has led to a decentralized structure. This structure brought by the increasing complexity in the operations as the institution grows also led to conflicting and inconsistent messages about the college which creates confusion and weakens the image branding of the institution. Successful marketing strategies and communication efforts cannot ensue from the isolated and ad-hoc strategies from the various groups, however quick or diverse they are by their nature. For the college to communicate with one voice, it is imperative that the marketing and communication activities are communicated through one office. SCOPE All external communications activities of the college will be coordinated through, and approved by, the Marketing Office. These activities will include, but not be limited to: 1. Publications ( such as student manuals, research journals, manuals including print and electronic "e-publications"); 2. Logos and other group identity; 3. Shirts, apparel, umbrellas and other items funded and/or produced by the school. 4.
