OPEN REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS:
Communications and Marketing Services
The CDC Foundation seeks to award a single Request for Proposals (RFP) contract for communication and marketing services. Atlanta received a grant through the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge to create a temporary, free public art project that addresses a local civic issue. Atlanta’s winning project, Thriving Together Atlanta, represents an innovative collaboration between the City of Atlanta Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, the CDC Foundation, National Black Arts Festival and Out of Hand Theater, aimed at tackling the pressing issues of health disparities, inequities and the impact of race on public health. This collaborative effort engages communities through the power of arts and culture to educate, empower and mobilize individuals towards positive action. Thriving Together Atlanta serves as a model of how cross-sector partnerships can address multifaceted issues affecting communities today.
The goal of communications and marketing activities is to encourage the public to attend project activities designed to spur understanding about the social determinants affecting health, such as food insecurity, environmental factors, and income disparity. Thriving Together Atlanta is seeking a strategic public relations (PR) partner to provide comprehensive ongoing communications support and strategic event-based services to actively promote the project locally, regionally, and nationally. The selected partner will collaborate closely with communications and marketing teams from the city, project partners, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the agency support teams provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
