Barnstable County

Barnstable County, which is the regional government of Cape Cod, wants a firm handle marketing communications for Children’s Cove, the child abuse intervention program.

One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday, according to the RFP. Ninety percent of victims knew and trusted their perpetrators.

CC provides compassionate, comprehensive and free services to survivors of child abuse via a network of community partnerships and educational outreach.

Its staff facilitates “an under-one-roof collaboration of social and legal agencies to protect, treat and provide counseling for child abuse victims and their families, and it assists its partners in the investigation of abusers,” according to the RFP.

Barnstable’s marketing partner will execute earned media strategies and develop overall communications tactics; create advertising; and manage social media.

Firms with five to seven years of experience in working with victim service agencies are preferred.

Proposals are due May 16 at https://barnstablecounty.bonfirehub.com
