The US Small Business Administration has awarded a seven-figure pact to The District Communications Group to handle marketing and outreach for a campaign to encourage entrepreneurship among veterans.

TDCG is the firm of Adam Clampitt, a former PAO reservist who was director of PA planning and social media for the NATO security force in Afghanistan under Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Ogilvy and FleishmanHillard vet Lyn Schultes is VP.

The SBA released an RFP in August for the work to support the year-old Obama administration program, part of the Transition Assistance Program to help veterans return home from active duty.

TDCG will tackle PR, event marketing, social media, PSAs and other duties under an initial task order of $1M.
