We require an experienced agency to develop a comprehensive and multifaceted communications strategy to assist us in reaching our target audience. The plan should include a consideration of the most effective channels for publicizing the project. We anticipate that the plan will rely on process of extensive community outreach through a series of strategic launches of materials, workshops, website postings and advertisements in ethno-cultural newspapers and radio. We are currently wrapping up the needs assessment phase of our work and will begin the preliminary development of materials over the summer. We intend retain a communications agency in August so that we are in a position to begin developing the communications plan in the fall. The campaign will run until the end of the project, June 2008.
