City of Boise, Arts and History Brand Awareness and Engagement RFP

A&H requests proposals by qualified firms to research, create and develop an implementation plan for brand activation efforts. Responses to this RFP will provide A&H with the information required to assess, evaluate and select a consultant based on prior experience, qualification, methodology and approach, and work performed in the government sector and in similarly sized communities. It is important to note that this is a brand activation campaign rather than an initiative to create a new brand or an effort to rebrand the agency.

The Boise City Department of Arts & History (A&H) is seeking the development of brand activation efforts to help increase awareness of and engagement in the department, its services, and programs.
