RFQ: Pre-Qualification of Creative Service Providers

Introduction

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future.

The in-house Brand Marketing and Creative Team includes dynamic professionals who possess a wide range of skills. We are writers, designers, photographers, project managers, video editors and asset specialists. We are marketers and fundraisers with expertise in social media, direct response, online and community giving. Most of all, we are passionate about Mercy Corps’ mission and dedicated to supporting our worldwide team that’s improving the lives of over 28 million people in 40 countries. However, our in-house team is not equipped to handle the creative, brand and marketing needs of the global agency.

Our global agency is made up of 5,400+ team members globally, of which 84% are from the countries in which they work. In 2021, the Mercy Corps team reached over 50 million people in more than 41 countries around the world. We work on issues from climate change to public health and from food security to emergency response. We bring creativity to everything we do, because we know that no two communities or challenges are the same. And then we work together with communities around the world to build strength and stability from within. Together, we take on the world’s toughest challenges with bold, new approaches - always with the intention of achieving lasting change.

We are looking for creative partners to help our global team tell the stories of our impact. This means you may be working on a project with a team at HQ or directly with a team from DRC, Yemen, or Guatemala, for example.

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for creative service freelancers, agencies or talent firms interested in being evaluated to receive future creative service projects.
