DESCRIPTION

The client seeks a qualified vendor to provide communication and public outreach consulting services. The consultant will be responsible for developing a strategic communications plan to support a multi-year, scalable community outreach program. Key responsibilities include organizing and leading project kickoff and monthly status meetings with key staff to discuss scope, approach, and scheduling.

The consultant will conduct discovery activities, review existing materials, and gather stakeholder input to synthesize findings in an insights summary. Audience segmentation will be performed to identify and categorize key groups, including residents and other community members, with attention to their information needs and preferred communication methods. The consultant will also design a clear messaging framework highlighting the project's role, odor mitigation efforts, environmental safeguards, and broader context.

A comprehensive outreach strategy will be developed, including recommended communication channels, engagement methods, notification concepts, and tactics. Finally, the consultant will prepare a practical three-year communications roadmap, which will prioritize outreach efforts, provide timing guidance, and outline methods for ongoing evaluation and refinement.
