Consultation Purpose
A consultation helps the Division of Student Affairs Digital Communications team understand your communication goals and determine the best visual storytelling approach. During this meeting, we clarify your audience, objectives, distribution platforms, deadlines, resources, and brand requirements to ensure the final product aligns with University of South Carolina standards and effectively supports your unit’s priorities. Consultations also help us determine scope, feasibility, and whether additional planning, scripting, or strategy support is needed.
