Public Education & Outreach Campaign RFP
The Escambia Children’s Trust invites proposals for the creative development and placement of print, video, digital, and/or social media content to support the two education and outreach campaigns described below and to encourage engagement of the target audiences.
ECT seeks a public awareness and education campaign targeting current and future parents and other caregivers raising children (from prenatal to age 18) in Escambia County. The goal for this universal campaign is to provide information to parents/caregivers to help them raise healthy and safe children; build awareness of local resources and how to access them; and increase parent and community engagement with related programs and services. ECT is looking for creative and innovative approaches to reach new audiences, particularly among communities that are difficult to penetrate.
- Strategies to keep children safe around water and resources to obtain swim lessons, including a directory of lessons offered at no or reduced costs for low-income families across the county.
- The importance of formal early childhood education to include messaging regarding brain development and positive interaction with infants and toddlers; this campaign should also stress that early childhood educators are professional educators whose roles go beyond ‘babysitting.’
The document below includes a detailed explanation of dates, deadlines, information, and any questions that you may have about the Public Education and Outreach Campaign. Please contact info@escambiachildrenstrust.org if you have any questions. We look forward to receiving your proposal!
