About Us

"We focus on our clients’ success by creating progressive, innovative and vibrant communication products in an energetic learning environment."

Absolute Communication is a student-run advertising and public relations agency which provides tangible results for both students and clients. Absolute Communication – a dream of the University of Utah’s communication department for many years – finally came to fruition in 2009. Our pilot semester proved Absolute Communication to be an excellent investment in our students' futures.

Absolute Communication is an independent study course that can be taken for 1 to 4 credit hours. Students carrying more credit hours are given opportunities to fill leadership rolls within the agency. These leaders – account supervisors and executives – are responsible to keep our projects on target and on schedule.

Absolute Communication works closely with The University of Utah's communication department, chaired by Ann Darling.

Kevin Bischoff, the advisor of Absolute Communication, is an expert in the field of public relations. As the Director of Business and Community Relations for Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Utah, Bischoff brings 27 years of experience and training to the classroom. Through his professional network, he is also able to bring in many guest speakers who share their professional experience and insight in the fields of advertising and public relations.

If you are interested in getting real-world experience before leaving the comfort of the University of Utah, please contact our advisor, Kevin Bischoff, or the academic advisor for the communications department, Abby Dohanos.
