6. If I am reading the RFP correctly, it sounds like you are looking for more of a media agency than a creative agency. If I understand correctly, you need a cross-channel marketing plan but the creative to be used is from existing assets. Is that right?


RESPONSE: Yes, that is correct.  The creative will be purchased by us through the CDC.
