Content Production and Broad-Based Communications Plan Development

The university seeks a vendor to provide content production and the development of a comprehensive, broad-based communications plan. The selected partner will create new content and messaging that effectively communicates the organization’s mission to foster resilience innovations in clean water, energy, ecosystems, and community health, especially within drylands environments. Inclusive, equitable research, education, and collaboration are foundational to the effort.

Key deliverables include the production of video assets and written copy, with direction on design, collaborated with the university’s website management team to update relevant pages and implement interactive elements such as mapping tools. The vendor should also develop standardized, branded PowerPoint and flyer templates for both internal and public-facing use, ensuring consistent and engaging communication.

The communications plan must be structured for various target audiences and align with prior messaging guidelines. There is a particular emphasis on highlighting the institute’s impact through a series of project videos, fostering engagement, promoting Indigenous ecological knowledge, and supporting transdisciplinary training to address workforce needs and encourage sustainable decision-making.
