The University of New Mexico is seeking to purchase a web-based design and branding platform called Marq. This platform provides tools for UNM Health Sciences staff and clinicians to produce on-brand marketing collateral, including flyers, brochures, presentations, digital creative, newsletters, and publications. The platform also provides an environment for UNM Health Sciences marketing and design staff to review these items and ensure they meet the university's brand standards. The university has been using the Marq platform since 2020 and has invested in training hundreds of personnel on the platform's tools. The proposed vendor, LP Midco LLC (Marq), is the only source for this platform, and the university believes that no other vendor can meet their needs. • The Marq platform provides brand management tools that allow for approvals of collateral created by users. • The platform gives the university specific tools needed to ensure that collateral created by licensed users meets the university's brand standards. • The platform provides an environment for UNM Health Sciences marketing and design staff to review these items and ensure they meet the university's brand standards. • The university has investigated and used comparable platforms, such as Canva and Adobe Express, but these platforms do not have the same branding capabilities as Marq.
