What is a Communication Kit?
A Communication Kit is a set of matching materials that help you share information about an event, service, product, or campaign. It uses both print and digital materials and directs people to your website for complete details.
All the items in the kit have the same words and graphics.
You choose what to include in your kit!

What Do I Need to Provide?
Please provide your text like this:
- Headline – an attention-getting title
- Body Text* – brief explanatory text, including the date, time, and location
- Call to Action – what action you’d like your users to take, like “Sign up now!”
- Website Link – where your users can find the complete details
*Digital graphics do not use the body text, only the headline, call to action, and website link. You include the body text in your post, in email, or on your webpage along with the graphic.
We request short (“GO”) URLs for you and include QR codes where appropriate.
See our Effective Graphics and Effective Flyers courses for more context.
Timeline
We need 2-4 weeks’ notice for most creative tasks. This timeline is only possible when we have capacity and resources.
We need 4-8 weeks’ notice for manufactured items because vendors have their own timelines. Please allow us to start conversations with vendors.
The design process for all requests starts after we receive final text. Work will not begin without final text.
