Campaign Solutions Agency

The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) requires a marketing and communications agency and/or agency consortia to deliver a range of campaigns across its remit. With the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan at the beginning of this year and the forthcoming Social Care Green Paper, the department has an increasing need to build its marketing capability to:

• Raise awareness of new policies designed to help safeguard the NHS's future.

• Improve awareness of specific actions the public can take to plan for their future care and make effective use of NHS services. This ranges from adoption of NHS innovations such as an App to planning for their future social care needs.

• Drive recruitment into adult social care (ASC) and reduce vacancies

DHSC is looking for an innovative, cutting-edge communications agency and/or agency consortia with the expertise and passion to develop and deliver impactful, engaging and highly targeted campaigns. The successful agency(ies) will work in partnership with DHSC to deliver an agile and truly integrated communications service able to seamlessly move between paid for, earned and owned communications; as well as national to local, to maximise audience impact and engagement, as well as value.
