FCO hunts for advertising and media agency

Thu, 15 Feb 2007

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is looking for an advertising and media agency to handle an £11m brief.

The FCO has posted a tender on the Official Journal of the European Union with a deadline of March 21 for entries.

The news comes as the FCO aims to increase the number of private sector brands involved in its "Know before you go" travel advice awareness campaign.

The FCO has just appointed 23red to oversee the campaign, with Sainsbury's Bank and Halifax already on the roster.

The "Know before you go" campaign encourages British travellers to prepare fully before going overseas.
