Listos California Issues Digital Marketing RFP
Valley Vision is issuing this Request for Proposals to solicit responses from vendors capable of providing an instrument that will track, monitor, and analyze traditional, digital, and social media for discussions/mentions of issues relevant to the Listos California Campaign. Results will be used by the Listos California Campaign to continually refine and guide its content and channels of communication to reach the targeted audiences and drive intended impact of the campaign. The analytics tool will be a key component for the Listos California Campaign to reach one million diverse and vulnerable residents to be better prepared for emergencies, particularly fire, flood, and earthquake. Additionally, the tool will be used by the Governor’s Office and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services to monitor communication trends around disaster response and recovery.
After careful review of responses received and associated due diligence performed by Valley Vision, Valley Vision will select one vendor to provide the analytics tool.
Background:
Governor Newsom and state lawmakers together invested $50 million through urgency legislation (AB 72 of 2019) to establish the California for All Emergency Preparedness Campaign as a joint effort between the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and California Volunteers. It is a new effort to boost emergency preparedness by connecting over one million of the most vulnerable Californians to culturally and linguistically competent support through a grass-roots, people-centered approach.
To ensure success, the campaign empowers and engages local communities on emergency preparedness to support California’s diverse and vulnerable populations, which can be described by social vulnerability factors including social isolation, poverty, language barriers, and other access and functional needs challenges.
Valley Vision, a 501c3 civic leadership organization selected as the support team for the California for All Emergency Preparedness Campaign, is assembling qualified vendors to carry out a multi-million-dollar public engagement campaign through December 2020 capable of engaging one million or more hard-to-reach Californian’s living in high risk disaster areas.
