Are you a student at Newcastle?
Do you want to market a product to other students at Newcastle?
Here's how we can help!
The Union Marketing department can help you if you are a student who is starting their own business, working with an established company as a Brand Manager or wanting to explore the marketing options at the Union as part of your course. If you want to use our media, its not free, but we will try to keep our prices relative to your budget.
What Do You Want To Do?
Marketing and Communications Students
If you are a Marketing or Communication Studies student you may need to gather information for your business plan or survey work within the Union. Just come up to the Marketing department and have a chat to one of the staff and they can generally point you in the right direction. Alternatively email marketing.union@ncl.ac.uk for a copy of our media pack/rate card.
Enterprise Unit Students
If you are a student working on an Enterprise Unit you may want to distribute from the Union, promote your service within the Union or access our information regarding student lifestyles etc. Once again, the easiest way to start this is to come into the office and have a chat. For the purposes of your course we will treat you just like any other company - so being a student gains you no advantage when it comes to our rules and regulations - however we do run a special discounted rate card and in general we will try our hardest to accommodate you.
Brand Managers
We recognise that many students want to gain experience for their CV by working as brand managers for large companies however we also recognise that this does not mean that these companies can (a) ignore minimum wages legislation or (b) use your student status as a way to circumvent our rules or rate card. If you distribute promotional material in or around the Union Building without having prior permission it will be removed and destroyed. If you book an event for an external company using your student status to avoid the booking charge, it will be cancelled. In the past we have engendered exceptionally productive relationships with companies and their brand manager teams by talking to them and working out what can and cannot be done within the Union. So, once again, come and talk to us BEFORE you start your promotional activity and we will make sure that you don't fall foul of any of our rules, the Universities rules or the City Councils rules!
