GRC

The Geothermal Resources Council, which was founded in 1972, is looking for a firm to help develop a “sharp and modern PR that reaches out across society to promote awareness of geothermal energy: from the general public to school children, through to decisionmakers at the highest levels,” according to its RFP.

The GRC, which joined with the Geothermal Energy Assn. in last year, has more than 1,200 members in 44 countries.

The Davis, CA-based organization wants to bring geothermal into the “public conscience as much as other technologies because we recognize that society needs geothermal in the future transitions to clean and renewable energy,” says the document.

The Council wants a communication partner(s) to build a marketing plan and website for the organization and for the geothermal community and industry that targets the organization’s mission.

A selected firm will also review the GRC name and recommend whether a new moniker would bolster branding efforts.

Estela Smith at [email protected] will handle written questions about the RFP before 10 PM Pacific Time on Oct. 31. She’ll accept PDF responses to the RFP until 10 PM Pacific Time on Nov. 15.

Will Pettitt, GRC executive director, will select the firm(s) with the final budget approved by the board of directors.

The RFP is here.
