Marina Feeser

I create, design, and produce publications, printed materials, giveaways, and electronic communications (Constant Contact emails, online newsletters, photo galleries) that help promote and support the mission of the University. I foster consistent branding of the SU identity throughout all projects. I work with various departments and student organizations as well as outside vendors to create designs and provide quality final products. Strive to build creative solutions based on content, uniformity of brand/messaging, cost-effectiveness, timeliness and quality. Collaborate with other designers, the university photographer, web developers, PR staff and Copy Center staff to develop successful marketing and promotional materials. I also completed, in the absence of our digital media designer, tasks such as creating and scheduling campus-wide email blasts and digital ads that played in various campus buildings on TV screens. Participated in the total redesign of the university website over the summer of 2018, which involved creating content through a content management system and merging the old website’s content into the new CMS.
