Hello from the Marketing Team! The Marketing Team has been hard at work creating a streamlined process in order to increase the effectiveness of our marketing promotional efforts. Marjorie Gonzalez, Marketing & PR Manager, has been visiting all library locations to introduce these new plans. Below is a very short synopsis on our new upcoming marketing processes and plans. Details  will be provided on the Communications intranet web page the first week in August. The 1st phase of our new plan begins TODAY, Monday, August 1, 2016.

New Marketing Processes Use New Marketing Request form to submit for a new project. All communications for marketing requests are now through Communications -hpl.communications@houstontx.gov Use the Reprint/Outreach Request form for standard reprint and outreach material requests. Use the Marketing Equipment Rental to request any equipment (i.e.: banners, tablecloths)
