Veneta

Veneta is looking for a branding partner to develop a prospective community identity that can be used to promote economic development, placemaking, and business retention/expansion in that Oregon city.

Located in a rural, recreation-oriented and forested area, Veneta is about 12 miles west of Eugene. Veneta features the Coastal Mountain Range to the west, Cascade Mountain Range to the east, and the Fern Ridge Reservoir.

Veneta has evolved from a bustling timber town to a small progressive city, where residents appreciate healthy lifestyles, cultural diversity and the arts, according to the RFP.

The selected partner will evaluate and refine the four slogans developed by Veneta’s Economic Development Committee. Those slogans are Veneta: “Completely Normal,” “It’s Life As You Like It,” “Inspired by Nature,” and “More Than a Stop Along the Way.”

Working with local businesses and partners, the firm will create a campaign to promote the refined slogan.

Veneta has budgeted $30K for the work that is expected to last about three months.

Responses are due Jan. 5. They go to [email protected].
