VisitScotland’s International marketing team is set to search for a new Pan European creative agency to handle marketing activity across Europe.

The contract will come with a budget of between £1,500,000 and £1,600,000 and will see the successful applicants work across Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Norway and Belgium.

The agency will take on a focus for online, although traditional advertising will also be required.

The advert explains that online activity has proven to be ‘highly effective’ for the tourism organisations, and that applicants must be able to demonstrate ‘excellent knowledge, experience and creativity’ in the sector.

Social media activity is also expected to be implemented.

The contract will run initially for a year, with two possible one-year extensions to follow.

Requests to participate must be received by 26 July.
