CalMac is looking to appoint an advertising agency and strategic partner to translate our brand story into a creative strategy. This should align with the work being undertaken on Brand Transformation and Alignment Project with the assets and outputs on key external facing platforms. This includes: - Advertising - concepts for collateral to fit with brand advertising and promotions across a number of assets including, but not exclusively programmatic, print, radio, OOH, etc. This will include both promotional and brand campaigns. - Social - concepts to translate across social media activities across all relevant platforms including but not exclusively blogs, film, posts, etc. - Owned platform content - concepts for activity across newsletters, poster sites, ticket-backs, email promos. - Supporting collateral - concepts which carry through in supporting assets including event materials, leave-behinds, etc. Proposals for the strategic direction of these activities, along with examples will be put into a Marketing Strategy Playbook for each year (Spring 2021-Winter 2022). If execution is successful then the incumbent will be reappointed to produce another three annual Playbooks by means of three 12-month extension.",
