WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
Tacoma Community College is seeking a single preferred digital media partner to provide strategic media planning, buying, management, optimization, and reporting services for its paid digital advertising. The college wants a long-term strategic partner, not a one-off campaign vendor, to help it plan and run multi-faceted digital campaigns that increase enrollment and retention, build brand awareness and reputation, drive traffic to the college website, and make efficient use of limited marketing funds in a competitive regional higher education market.
