Marketing & Communications

Marketing & Communications articulates, stewards and promotes RISD’s brand to create connections with the institution.

We do this by discovering and sharing stories about the RISD community; developing, managing and consulting on all visual and verbal expressions of the institution; and providing direction and support to campus communicators.

Our team is composed of Creative, Digital Experience and Public Relations.

To request edits to websites (www.risd.edu, students.risd.edu, and others), please email risdwebsite@risd.edu.
