Notice Title

23 084 Communication and Design Services for Digital Cheshire

Notice Description

Cheshire East Council (Digital Cheshire) are seeking to contract a service provider for the delivery of demand stimulation and marketing/communications services for the Digital Cheshire: Connecting Cheshire project utilising a creative approach that could be used across a number of applications such as online channels, brochures/flyers/mailings, events and other relevant avenues to engage the target audience. The creative campaigns developed throughout the project duration should focus on the benefits of upgrading to fibre within a generic business and/or residential context and incorporate continuous improvements to its current website (www.digitalcheshire.co.uk) and demand stimulation activities. Due to the nature of broadband delivery, voucher and grant availability and fluidity of a business support programme, some activities will be pre-planned whilst regular account management and client engagement will be critical to ensure reactive campaigns and activities can take place based on the projects' current needs. Details and expressions of interest are available via The Chest - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?resetFilter=True&applyFilter=True&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21&v=1
