The Illinois Dept. of Children and Family Services is looking for firms to handle PR, communications, marketing and advertising services under a five-year master contract. 

The firms will work on a temporary and project/campaign-specific basis to supplement internal dept. staff workloads and capabilities for promotion, branding, digital/social media and events needs from strategy to execution, according to the RFP. 

The Department encourages bidders to subcontract with specialty providers (e.g., design studios, talent management firms, channel-specialist shops) to provide the most comprehensive and diverse communication offerings. 

Proposals are due Oct. 19 and need to be sent electronically to the Bid/Buy portal.
