The RFP is organized into two scopes of work: Creative Services and Multimedia Production, and Earned Media, Public Relations, and Strategic Communications. The City is entering a period of "renaissance" with global events like Super Bowl LXI in 2027 and the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, requiring sophisticated, coordinated, and authentic communications to residents, businesses, visitors, and a global audience.
