What the notice says
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) are looking to appoint multiple marketing agencies to develop a Creative Services framework. The agencies will assist TfGM to develop and deliver multi-channel campaigns across Greater Manchester (GM) as well as our business-as-usual activity with the aim of encouraging more people to travel sustainably.
TfGM has been successful in delivering several engaging and high-profile campaigns in recent years and now wishes to expand on that success due to its growing responsibilities.
