DESCRIPTION

The organization is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive digital advertising services under the guidance of its marketing and strategic communications division. This division oversees development and stewardship of the institutional brand, with strategic oversight of paid media, digital strategy, and execution of advertising campaigns.

The scope includes deployment of paid media across multiple platforms and tactics such as social media advertising, search engine marketing (SEM), programmatic display, connected TV, out-of-home, print, radio, geotargeting, and retargeting. The selected vendor will support marketing and communications to drive enrollment, engagement, and sustained institutional growth across diverse audiences.

Essential services include targeting via programmatic display and audio advertising, using advanced targeting capabilities, and delivering creative assets—ranging from AI-generated content and stock imagery to video and static asset development as optional services. Integration with CRM systems, such as Salesforce, is required to track engagement and prospect data. Vendors should also support strategies in search and social media marketing, digital and streaming ad placements, as well as retargeting and audience remarketing. The contract will be for a one-year period.
