Campaign work, public information and how agencies are actually selected
Communications work for public bodies divides into campaigns with a behavioural objective and continuing communications support, and they are tendered differently. A campaign is scoped around a measurable change -- uptake of a service, awareness of a deadline, a safety behaviour -- with research, creative development, media planning and evaluation as distinct workstreams that may be let to different suppliers. Continuing support is usually a framework with a retained team and a rate card, called off as needs arise.
Selection is normally a two-stage process in which a shortlist responds to a live brief, and the response is judged on strategic insight and creative approach as much as on the finished idea. Buyers increasingly limit the amount of speculative creative work they require, and some pay an honorarium for it, because unlimited free pitching narrows the field to agencies that can afford to lose. Named team continuity is a contractual term for the same reason it is in consulting: the pitch team and the delivery team are expected to be the same people.
Two mechanics are specific to this category. Media buying is usually separated from creative and audited, with the agency required to disclose rebates, volume discounts and any principal trading so that the buyer knows whether it is paying a fee or a margin. And evaluation is contractual: public campaigns are expected to report against defined measures with a pre-agreed baseline, not against impressions delivered. Accessibility of materials, publication in required languages, and clear separation between public information and anything that could be read as political promotion are compliance requirements with real consequences.
This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.
