The Arkansas Dept. of Commerce is looking for PR, marketing and advertising services to generate awareness that it is a desirable place to grow, locate or start a business.

ACOM is charged with creating economic opportunity by attracting higher paying jobs, expanding/diversifying local economies, increasing investment and generating a positive image for The Natural State.

The RFP also calls for educating the public about the services that ACOM offers to support unemployed citizens and job training available for students and employees looking for new careers.
