The account with the Nevada Commission on Tourism is "public relations-driven" and encompasses strategic development, external communications and digital, with some media buying and online development, according to the RFP. The commission said it wants a revamp of its online press operations and to be more effective in luring key Millennial and Generation X travelers, among other goals outlined in the RFP.
