What is Marketing & Communications at Texas A&M University (marcomm.tamu.edu)?

Updated

marcomm.tamu.edu is the official home for Texas A&M University's storytellers, marketers, and communicators. It exists to empower purposeful communication and amplify the impact of the university's faculty, staff, and students by providing the strategy, tools, and guidance needed to share the Texas A&M story with audiences in Texas, the nation, and beyond. If you are a Texas A&M communicator or marketer looking for brand strategy, messaging direction, or storytelling resources, this is the site built for you.

Who the site serves

The site is explicitly aimed at an internal communications and marketing audience rather than the general public. According to the homepage, it is "the home for Texas A&M University's storytellers, marketers and communicators." That means:

  • Communicators and marketers across Texas A&M who produce content on behalf of the university
  • Faculty and staff whose work is amplified through that storytelling
  • Anyone tasked with representing the Texas A&M brand consistently across channels

If you fall outside that group — for example, a prospective student or a member of the public — the site is still readable, but its primary function is to equip people who tell the university's story professionally.

What you'll find there

The homepage frames the site as a source of "strategy, tools and guidance." The content is organized around a few core ideas:

Brand strategy as the foundation

The site states that "everything we say and everything we do as a brand is built on this brand strategy," describing it as "the blueprint for our brand experience and brand story." It presents a brand positioning statement structured around:

  • Who: Texas A&M University
  • What: a force for good
  • How: where Aggies stand together and step forward — united by Core Values and shared duty
  • Why: to build a brighter, safer world for the people of Texas, the nation and beyond

Evidence of impact

The site makes a case for why telling the story well matters, citing results such as:
