Communications agencies
Lund University has agreements with advertising agencies in three different categories. Here you will find information on how to use the agreements and contact details for each agency.
Always address your request to the agency in the category most appropriate for the task you are commissioning. Please note that you are not to send your request for tenders (referred to as a call-off) to several agencies at once. The framework agreements mean that all Lund University organisations are required to use these agencies if the service you want to purchase falls within the procured category. If not, the direct procurement procedure applies:

It is important always to follow the graphic profile when communicating on behalf of Lund University. You must therefore ensure that all printed and digital material produced by an external advertising agency follows the rules and instructions of the graphic profile.
