The supplier will work alongside an internal production team to increase capacity for the creation of a variety of digital creative projects.

The supplier specifically is required to have the ability to provide the following services either in-house or through qualified and quality vetted sub-contractors: 1) Produce a range of digital content formats, including but not limited to: 2) Provide support on individual production elements, including but not limited to: 3) Provide "re-purposing" support on projects 4) Provide projects and raw assets for in-house use
