The BDU Marketing team is looking to extend the current creative agency contract with Stratos for an end-to-end service solution to help with the planning and delivery of design assets to be deployed across the campaigns calendar that will be delivered on an annual basis. There will also be some ad hoc projects available to support on wider design of core/always-on messaging and communications across owned channels. The agency has consistently delivered high-quality work efficiently and has played a key role in maintaining project progress. Extending the engagement will help ensure continuity of delivery, mitigate resource risks, and support the successful completion of planned initiatives.
