About

Government Advertising Unit (GAU) is seeking a media partner to negotiate and secure the best advertising rates on its behalf and to advise on relevant updates in media advertising. The role does not include media buying and is specifically designed to negotiate capped campaign rates within each media organisation; advertising agencies are encouraged to use the secured rates as a benchmark and to negotiate further discounts where possible.

Insight

This could be valuable for media negotiation specialists, advertising agencies or consultants experienced in negotiating advertising rates and providing media-advice. Key considerations: the contract excludes media buying, focuses on negotiating capped campaign rates within media organisations, and expects suppliers to provide benchmarking advice and pursue additional discounts.
