  2. About Central Communication Agency Central Communication Agency is a strategic communication, student-run, full-service agency that gives students an opportunity to showcase their ability to construct and implement a public relation and/or advertising campaign to maximize results for their clients. The agency will grow through strong results, referrals, and a vested interest in putting clients first. Team members provide a strong diversity within the agency, with specialties in public relations to marketing, advertising to electronic media, and social media to graphic design. At Central Communication Agency, we collaborate to implement both traditional and online communication tools. As a team, approximately 50 students each quarter work together to help our clients succeed in whichever ways they see fit and give them unique options to raise the level of awareness of their products and services. Agency is available to serve on and off-campus clients to promote awareness and improve marketing efforts so that the greater student body is more aware of all of the diverse opportunities, programs, and events.
