Description

Established in 2002, SETsquared is a unique enterprise partnership between the six leading research-led UK universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey. Its mission is to turn innovation into thriving business, maximising the impact of a combined £600m research portfolio and driving social and economic impact by supporting academics, students and regional businesses with world-leading business incubation, innovation, and growth support services. To date, the partnership has collectively created over 200 spin-out companies, supported over 5,000 entrepreneurs working in the most challenging fields of science and technology, and helped businesses raise over £5bn in investment and funding. We now seek a marketing and communications agency to work with us over an initial 12-month term (with up to four one-year extensions). Key responsibilities include end-to-end support for flagship events (notably our annual Investment Showcase and associated webinars), recruitment campaigns for new programmes, strategic content and social-media planning, HubSpot-based newsletter and CRM management, website and innovation-platform maintenance, branding stewardship, and ongoing creation of digital, print and video materials For more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Bath:-Advertising-and-marketing-services./RB345YFE8D To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/RB345YFE8D
