PR Support for Destination Edinburgh’s Marketing and Promotions Activity

Published

Description

Forever Edinburgh is The Official Visitor Guide to Edinburgh, promoting Edinburgh and providing inspiration and useful planning information to prospective inbound leisure visitors and residents. The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) requires a knowledgeable and experienced PR agency (Provider) to support Forever Edinburgh activities for the two initial campaigns and any future campaigns over the next two years with the option to extend for a further two 12-month periods undertaken at the sole discretion of the Council. The Provider will be required to deliver and develop complementary PR plans with corporate communication support for Forever Edinburgh’s two initial destination-led campaigns; (1) Resident Rewards Edinburgh and (2) Leisure Tourism Proposition. However, over the life of this Contract, other campaigns may be identified. Note: by submitting your interest you are agreeing to further engagement with the Council. This PIN is for market research purposes only, to determine if there are organisations with the capacity and capability to provide the Service. The Council may decide to competitively tender this opportunity in the future. The Council requires a Contract for PR support for Forever Edinburgh activity in delivering complementary consumer PR campaign plans to grow awareness of the Resident Rewards Edinburgh initiative among residents, ensuring every resident within the city is aware of the initiative and know how to participate in it and the development of a new Leisure Tourism Proposition. The activity enables the city to maintain daily interactions and target specific audiences and segments that have the highest propensity to travel and from the higher visitor-value markets. The two initial campaigns include: 1. Resident Rewards Edinburgh – an expansion of the current Resident Rewards Edinburgh initiative, which currently provides residents an exclusive high-value monthly ‘Reward’ to hospitality, cultural and leisure businesses in the city. 2. Leisure Tourism Proposition - a new two-year domestic leisure tourism campaign aimed at target segments in the UK. As the two campaigns have different target audiences, the Provider should have a strong understanding and awareness of the Edinburgh visitor and resident offer; know what is happening in Edinburgh at every moment in time; understand and have experience of working with the tourism sector; have relationships with tourism businesses in the city and with both local Edinburgh media outlets and national gold and silver tier media titles and lifestyle publications. The main objectives for the two initial campaigns are detailed below, however, over the life of this Contract, other objectives and campaigns may be identified: - A well-researched and thought-out consumer PR plan for both campaigns that include a timeline; - Activation cost breakdown; - Reporting and monitoring cost; and - Proposed deliverables (number of titles, number of unique stories, shortlist of target media titles with rationale, number of newsworthy activity spikes, readership reach and new consumer data leads captured, as well as other potential outputs that best align with the proposed PR ideas). The Contract value is estimated to be up to a value of 300,000 GBP over the four-year period, this is subject to external funding and therefore there is no guarantee to the number of campaigns over the Contract period. The PIN is being used by the Council to understand the current marketplace and options available.
