Bid Description:
The State of Vermont, Office of the Chief Marketing Officer, is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced vendors competent to deliver Media Planning and Buying Services. The purpose of any resulting contract will be to provide support for the media campaign activities of the agencies, departments and divisions of Vermont state government on an as-needed, project-by-project basis. // The Chief Marketing Officer has identified an opportunity for savings by consolidating media dollars under one contract and coordinating multiple in-state media campaigns through a single media buyer to increase purchasing power and buying efficiencies. This consolidation provides the media buyer more negotiating power with media vendors resulting in lower rates on behalf of the state as a whole. // During the term of the resulting contract, state entities will have the ability to work directly with the contracted marketing vendor for media planning and buying services. It should be understood, therefore, that vendors are dealing with a very diverse group of entities that nonetheless comprise one client—-the state of Vermont.
