Applying the Marquette Brand in Print

Copy Tone and Copy Elements

The copy tone for Marquette’s marketing materials is driven by the personality captured in the brand triangle:
  • Smart
  • Vibrant
  • Passionate
  • Caring
  • Fun

In general, copy should be conversational and relaxed rather than institutional — as though the reader is sitting across the table from the writer.

Copy should always be written with the specific audience in mind. Given that, copy may change slightly depending on the age of the audience, their familiarity with Marquette and their openness to the information being communicated.

We have only seconds to make a brand impression on our audience. Copy that strives for brevity and clarity generally has greater impact.
