The University of Wisconsin-Madison is looking to hire a firm for PR and crisis communications support. Edelman had the pact.

The school has more than 42K students, 2,000 faculty members and 16K employees.

It wants a firm that can “guarantee its availability for on-call, on-site communications and public relations assistance and counsel as requested,” according to the RFP.

The firm may also be called upon for media strategy counsel, background research on media outlets, material writing, third-party outreach and web content development.

It will work with the Office of University Relations, as well as other departments at UW-M.

The one-year contract begins Nov. 1 and may be renewed for two additional one-year periods.

Edelman worked the crisis contract through June 2019.

Responses are due Oct. 15 and are to be sent electronically to [email protected]
