Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Issues Media Buying RFP
OPSP Canada is looking for the establishment of Frame Agreement with one or more TV media buying agency.
Background:
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on 14 December 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It also has the mandate to help stateless people. In more than five decades, the agency has helped tens of millions of people restart their lives. Today, a staff of some 8,600 people in more than 125 countries continue to help more than 33.9 million globally displaced persons. To help and protect some of the world’s most vulnerable people in so many places and types of environments, UNHCR must purchase goods and services worldwide. For further information on UNHCR, its mandate and operations, please see http://www.unhcr.org.
Scope of Work:
PSP Canada is looking for the establishment of Frame Agreement with one or more TV media buying agency/ (ies) to support in the purchase of media across stations in Canada, in order to:

- Maximize cost efficiencies (cost per spot and cost-per-thousand) and deliver converted response at the lowest possible cost;
- Develop test matrices (time-length, ask amount, response mechanism) in order to optimize the performance of the program
- Recommend a media spend plan that help us grow a set of core stations through thoughtful station testing
The agency/ (ies) goal is to develop, implement, execute, test and optimize the most effective media-buying strategy/ (ies), in order to achieve the greatest possible impact for a given fundraising budget.
