Work With Us | Communications Toolkit

The UC ANR Publications and Strategic Communications team offers professional services in creative production, Spanish-language outreach, media relations, social media support, and training. Contact Us to reach the right team member for your project.

Creative Production

We provide graphic design, editing, writing, video production, and still photography to help you produce materials that are professionally produced, visually appealing, and appropriately branded.

How It Works

Many projects begin with a brief consultation to gather details needed for an accurate timeline and cost estimate. This initial meeting is uncharged.
Projects are completed by in-house staff or external vendors based on organizational priorities and existing workload.
For projects that promote UC ANR programs, we will ask for an account number to recharge our time. No recharges are made without your approval.
Please provide as much lead time as possible.
This process does not apply to UC ANR peer-reviewed publications or California Agriculture journal, which go through separate peer review processes.

Hourly Recharge Rates

Editing and editorial project management (Publishing unit): $89.52
Graphic design and illustration (Publishing unit): $83.46
Video, editing, and voice-over services: $75.07
