The City is seeking a qualified, experienced consultant to develop a community brand that includes market research, brand messaging, logo development, and a brand implementation plan

The City of Rockville is seeking a qualified firm with experience in quantitative and qualitative marketing research, message/positioning development, and municipal identity/branding including development of a brand value statement; logo development and associated graphic standards; and recommendations for brand rollout with an implementation plan that outlines budget and timeline.

The City brand will energize current residents and position the municipality as a desirable place to live, work and play. Key audiences include residents, people who work in the city, visitors and tourists. The brand will enhance general perception, as well as highlight the highquality City services that are provided to residents. The brand will ideally connect residents to City government and promote an atmosphere of open dialogue, inclusivity, and community engagement.
