North Carolina

The North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission is accepting PR proposals for its 2021 program to educate the public on the state’s sustainable commercial fishing industry and the progress that it has made to lessen its impact on the environment.

The RFP calls NC’s fishery resources economically and socially important to many of the state’s residents, visitors and coastal communities because they provide a source of employment, income, recreation and food.

The Commission wants a broad-based PR approach “to include developing educational clinics, media promotions (print, video, web, social media, radio, etc.), displays for festivals, promotional items for fishing related events, and assistance in marketing North Carolina’s seafood as sustainable.”

It requests proposals for a two-year period, with the work and budget broken down by Year 1 and Year 2.

Program costs are not to exceed $400K per year.

Proposals are due electronically on Aug. 17. They go to [email protected].
