The new MAC website was launched today, and looks markedly different to the last version.
We've taken a simpler approach to organising information, so there are now fewer options on the left hand menu.
Home: our home page should be your first stop to find out what is currently happening, or is of interest to people involved, in Marketing at ANU. There is a News section, an Events Calendar, and 'Featured Items' at the top of the page that will link to items that are of particular interest at certain times of the year, such as Christmas Cards in December. The home page also links to our Support and Advice section. Everything you need to know about Marketing and Communications at ANU - such as branding, events, or advertising - is now categorised by topic to make it easier to find. More details on the Support & Advice section are below.
About MAC: gives a brief overview of our Division, and lists all the areas that you can contact within MAC.
Support & Advice: much of the information from our old site has been grouped under topics in the Support and Advice section. Here you will find articles written to answer many of the common questions we get in MAC like 'How do I use the ANU logo?', 'Where is ANU ranked worldwide?' and 'Where is the template for x?'. Every topic, and each article, has contact details clearly listed at the bottom - so you know who to talk to if you want anything further, or if you can't find what you need. And there's a search that is specific to content in the support and advice section, as well as an A to Z index.
Merchandise: lists ANU branded products available externally, and to ANU staff, along with details on how to order.
ANU Image Library: is a new section, which features a number of stock images from our image library. You can browse the images and request copies for use in your publications and websites.
Drill Hall Gallery: current and upcoming exhibitions, and other information about the Drill Hall Gallery.
Art Collection: information about the ANU art collection, which is used to beautify our offices and buildings all over campus.
Communities: we have now made Marketing Network and Web Publishers Group information available online. ANU staff are welcome to join these communities and to take advantage of services such as presentations and blog posts on current issues relevant to that community.
On the technical side, our website uses javascript in places to display things like email addresses. Please be aware that you might not be getting the full picture if you have javascript turned off.
As with all websites, this is a work in progress. We welcome any feedback on what does, or doesn't, work for you. Just contact the Digital and Web Publications team within MAC.
