Scope

Description

Procuring these services will support the delivery of our annual Study UK plan for the USA by leveraging the expertise of an agency familiar with both the local market and the international education sector. This approach will enhance campaign effectiveness, reduce costs through better audience targeting, and improve efficiency by minimizing staff time required for implementation. It will also strengthen the quality of Study UK's digital presence in the USA, including on the British Council website, which is essential given our limited resources and small team.
