DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires the services of a Contractor on an as-and-when basis to develop and implement immediate and long-term tactics including marketing strategies, partnerships, influencer marketing, and creative services. CRA’s marketing activities will align initiatives nationally as the need arises to support tax programs, benefits and tax law compliance.
The CRA is responsible for administering tax programs, delivering economic and social benefits, and ensuring compliance with tax laws. In doing so, CRA targets various audiences such as individual tax filers (including ethnic and Indigenous peoples and newcomers to Canada), benefit recipients, businesses, intermediaries, charities and stakeholders.
Since the early 2000s, the CRA has undertaken national marketing campaigns, including but not limited to advertising, to support government priorities related to tax relief measures for individuals and for businesses. In addition, the CRA has undertaken campaigns related to introducing new CRA online services and encouraging their use, donor awareness related to charities, and the underground economy. To support the awareness and uptake of CRA’s tax programs and services, the Contractor will deliver the following marketing services:
- Marketing strategy and planning
- Creative services
- Partnerships
- Event-based marketing
- Influencer marketing
- Public relations
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
The requirement is limited to Canadian services.
