SCEDA is looking for an agency that can provide media consulting and public relations services in an effort to market the organization internally and externally, position it as a critical voice for economic development in the state of South Carolina, educate the SCEDA membership and keep them apprised of relevant news, economic development trends, and key developments throughout the state and boost awareness of the organization via social media.

Scope of the work includes developing public relations plans; earning media coverage for various events; posting and monitoring on social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn); developing and distributing internal and external communications (including a regular newsletter); providing media training and presentations; and meeting monthly with SCEDA’s PR committee.

Terms of the contract call for the work to commence in July and to continue for two years, with

one two-year option for renewal. Budget for the work is $35,000 per year, which may be increased if edited and produced video coverage of events also can be provided.
