Creative Services By Students
The Egg, Student Creative Agency is a professionally advised marketing and communication team for our clients. For our student staff, we are a creative incubator and experiential professional development program centered around marketing and communications.

Need Creative Services?
Hatch Something New!
Courtesy of the Parents’ Fund, The Egg offers free creative services to Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), Graduate Student Organizations (GSOs) and student groups affiliated with Fraternity and Sorority Leadership & Learning.
Work with The Egg on creative services for your student group that meet your branding, communication and marketing goals. Consultation and project offerings are detailed below.
Please be aware we have a monthly cap on project requests. We take on a limited number of projects monthly on a first-come, first-served basis, according to our team’s capacity.
In addition, we strive to spread our services equitably across UD’s 300+ RSOs/GSOs. Therefore, we limit the number of projects a group can submit per semester to allow all groups equal access.
Please note that while our creative services are free some projects may have printing costs or costs associated with digital ad reservations or print ad reservations. We will provide ad reservation prices or printing estimates in advance of creative services for these types of projects.
