We are looking for a supplier with experience of running large social campaigns that focus on positively influencing consumer attitudes. We Eat Balanced is AHDB's flagship consumer marketing campaign, launched as a pilot in January 2021. The We Eat Balanced social media channels were initially launched to host advertising content for this pilot, but due to the successful results, 'always on' social media activity has since been activated, as well as further large TV-led advertising campaign bursts. AHDB does have an in-house social media team, however they currently do not have enough capacity to support this workstream in full, hence it has so far been outsourced, but it may be brought back in-house in future. Note: although this brief focuses on We Eat Balanced, there's potential for AHDB to also need support for its other social media channels in future. This contract will be initially for 18 months with the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months each Suppliers must register on the Bravo portal in order to gain access to this opportunity and the documents Additional information: AWARDED - Suppliers Instructions How to Express Interest in this Tender and respond to the opportunity - Register your company on the eSourcing portal (this is only required once) Browse to the eSourcing Portal: [defra.bravosolution.co.uk](https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk) and click the link to register Accept the terms and conditions and click 'continue' Enter your correct business and user details - Note the username you chose and click 'Save' when complete You will shortly receive an email with your unique password (please keep this secure) - Express an Interest in the tender ### Login to the portal with the username/password Click the ITTs Open To All Suppliers' link.
