Overview
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) are looking to appoint multiple marketing agencies to develop a Creative Services framework. The agencies will assist TfGM to develop and deliver multi-channel campaigns across Greater Manchester (GM) as well as our business-as-usual activity with the aim of encouraging more people to travel sustainably.
TfGM has been successful in delivering several engaging and high-profile campaigns in recent years and now wishes to expand on that success due to its growing responsibilities. TfGM covers a wide remit of exciting and transformational projects across GM from delivering infrastructure for active travel including a cycle hire scheme, through to developing an app and providing major Public Transport services across tram, rail and bus networks. Given this expansion and the fact marketing is a specialist area, TfGM's internal Marketing team is looking to source external support to help deliver its ambitions.
