Scope of the work will include message development for Georgian officials, including assistance with articles and op-eds and the preparation of public addresses by Georgia’s Prime Minister and U.S. Ambassador, as well as strategy, policy analysis (which includes identifying themes that resonate strongly with Trump administration) and targeting efforts in an attempt to craft a narrative for use by the Georgian Embassy and its communications team that tells the nation’s story.

The contract runs until July, 2018.
