Sponsorships

1. Begin the process early to allow sufficient time for review.  We recommend at least 60 days prior to the activation of the sponsorship.
2. Design artwork for the sponsorship, if necessary. See the Do's & Don'ts for artwork guidelines and the University Brand Guide.
3. Select a sponsorship approved vendor to produce any products associated with the sponsorship. These vendors are listed below.
4. Reach out to Martin Ludwig (ludwigmn@ucmail.uc.edu) via email to describe the sponsorship activity, sponsor/outside organization involved, and which University mark(s) are being requested to use. Please provide as much information in this email as possible.
   Note: If artwork is associated with the sponsorship, please attach the artwork to the email.
5. The Office of Trademark Licensing & Brand Engagement will review your request.  It typically takes 2-4 weeks to process each request.  After the review has been completed, we will e-mail the requestor and sponsor confirming if the request has been approved as shown, if any changes are required, or if the request has been denied along with an explanation.

Note: Approval to use the University's brand in partner with a sponsorship/outside company does not allow approval to use the brand again without seeking additional approval. You must submit a new form for each new request.
