Notice Title

Brand & Creative Services

Notice Description

National Citizen Service (NCS) is the country's fastest-growing youth movement, a rite of passage for all teenagers aged 15-17 to discover who they are and what they can do. Nearly 500,000 young people have already taken part. Find out more at www.ncsyes.co.uk NCS currently has the following opportunity for the provision of Brand & Creative Services. This tender is part of a wider marketing transformation project in a pivotal year for the organisation as we have moved to become a Royal Charter Body and carry out a comprehensive recommissioning of our partner network. NCS is ambitious to grow and inspire more young people to participate in the programme. Whilst greater control of the network to deliver recruitment and sign ups via re-commissioning, media efficiencies and digital acceleration will ensure incremental gains, awareness of and perception of the NCS brand is a major blocker amongst young people, parent & guardians and the wider general public. We are looking for an agency who can help us deliver a razor sharp brand proposition, a brand identity that is fit for purpose in the digital age and a creative platform that can not only cut through the clutter but live and breathe through every single touchpoint in our customer journey to make NCS the best known and loved youth movement brand in the UK. NCS requires a brand and creative agency partner to initially design and deliver our brand identity project, and continue on as our lead creative partner on a campaign basis for the duration of the contract term.
