In October 2021, the City issued RFP 10-21 requesting proposals for City Communications and Branding Services. The purpose of the Request for Proposal (RFP)was to solicit proposals to establish a lump sum contract through competitive negotiation with a qualified consulting firm with solid and proven experience in marketing research (both quantitative and qualitative), message/positioning development, and municipal identity/branding including development of a brand values statement; logo development and associated graphic standards; and recommendations for brand rollout through social media marketing as well as traditional marketing. We requested the development of a comprehensive brand marketing campaign to drive business attraction and retention, energize current residents and position the City as a desirable place for relocation, and enhance City branding with updated messaging and City seal that reflects our community values. At the December 13, 2021 Regular Commission meeting, Consensus Marketing was selected to perform Communication and Branding Services. The brand development element of the proposal includes logos, slogans, taglines, and other products. The first step in this deliverable is to evaluate a potential new City logo or seal. Once a design is selected, a branding package with be created based on the new design. Attached are preliminary seal and logo designs that incorporate a modernized feel and community values. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Commission discuss potential branding and seal designs and to provide direction to staff. 1 �Sp}OREs OF Hisrop /00000 }� WINTER.
