Notice Title

Study UK: Discover You Campaign - Social Media Management

Notice Description

The Study UK campaign (https://study-uk.britishcouncil.org/), delivered in partnership with the GREAT Britain campaign, is designed to promote the best of British education overseas, so that the United Kingdom is the first choice for the brightest and best students in the world.

Our social media presence is being managed by an external agency, including creation of content, posting, monitoring and reporting, and this contract with the current agency expires on 14 August 2018.
