2 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Lot 1: Communication services for EFCA
In the context of its information and communication strategy, the EFCA is committed to operations which aim is to raise public awareness of the Common Fisheries Policy compliance, as well as of the European Coast Guard cooperation and other EU initiatives in which the EFCA is involved.
In its Communication Strategy, different tools, which require specialised services, are used, inter alia:
EFCA website: It provides a single point of access to all relevant information, and a place to report about the control campaigns and international activities, post news and information for the media, publish calls for tenders, all job vacancies, project results and events. The site should always be up-to-date and its content should be addressing the needs of both specialised and
non-specialised audiences.
Media kit: Press releases and whenever possible, footage and images are provided for the audio-visual media.
Printed and Promotional Material: For the moment, the Agency’s publications are its Programming Document (Work programme), a short version of its Annual Report, and brochures for the general public or the media. Promotional material that can serve to build the image of the Agency is also developed. Most often, the material is distributed to Vigo except in particular occasions where the contractor may be asked to ship the material to another venue.
Social media: The EFCA maintains a presence on social media channels in order to raise levels of awareness of its work. It also serves to multiply its opportunities to deliver messages, identify and engage with new audiences, and improve networking and collaboration. It permits public engagement with audiences and building a reputation for professionalism and transparency. Further, it strengthens the “employer image” by attracting new recruits or improving dissemination of calls for tenders. It also maximizes the potential reach of existing content by repurposing existing material, such as press releases or videos, and drives traffic to the Agency website, thereby attracting new users and enabling the understanding of the themes that are of most interest to the wider public.
Videos: Given the increasing importance of visual communication today, video production is an important tool for EFCA communication.
