Communications

Deerfield Communications serves as an internal creative agency, providing consulting, visual design, photography, editorial, and electronic communications support to the Academy.

The department manages all of the Academy’s publications, direct mail (including email) efforts, public websites, and communications materials such as photography and video. The “Comm Team” is behind Deerfield.edu, the Students Bulletin and the Employee Bulletin, and you’ll often find them behind a camera pointed in your direction. They also manage contact with members of the press and perform a number of community relations functions. In short, Communications serves three core functions:

  • Is the primary steward for the Academy’s identity;
  • Gathers and shares news and information about the Academy; (demonstrates Deerfield’s commitment to its mission through communications with constituencies; supports programmatic, enrollment, and Advancement giving goals);
  • Enhances communication clarity and speed, and enables the use of communications technology through: email/newsletters, website (s), and social media.

Project Requests

To submit a project request to the Communications Office, please fill out our request form located on the Employee Bulletin. We’re always happy to help, but due to the number of requests, especially during the school year, we ask that you plan on a minimum of two weeks (ten business days) between submitting a request and receiving a finished product.
