Some of our team have previously worked for Government or Councils, and as a company, we have developed and delivered on numerous Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Quotes (RFQs)grants and tenders over the years. 

Whether it be a one-off training workshop for your internal team, updating or developing a new website or app, or executing on a multi-service campaign;  collectively, our team has decades of experience working with public sector clients including local and regional Councils, State Government departments, foreign embassies and Federal Governments.

This may also involve conducting market research. Talk to us about developing a Government marketing strategy to suit you.

Creative agency government

We are pleased to have worked as the creative agency for many Government departments and local Councils, creating brands and other creative marketing resources for their overall organisation and specific community programs they are running.  In an era of diverse public needs and expectations, a consistent and trustworthy Government and Council image and campaign creatives are vital. It fosters public trust, and engagement, and simplifies communication. At The Creative Collective, if you need to market your Government services with a professional, clear and unified message to the public that leaves a lasting impact, we can help.

Looking for the best Government website design?

When was the last time you had a website redesign? We always recommend that a website gets refreshed every 1-2 years to ensure it remains useful and relevant to its target audience, in line with best practice, and to also ensure it is secure. All of these things are particularly important when it comes to Government website design be it local government website design or Federal government website design! If you’re looking for a council website design or Government web design, talk to us!

Government PR agency

Working with a Goverment PR agency ensures you are working with a team that understands the nuances of preparing media materials and liaising with the media in a way that is specific to the public sector.  As one of many Government PR firms, we have team members who have previously worked for Governments or Councils around the world, and who understand the differences between PR for the public and private sectors.

The allocation for marketing as a government agency or Council should be determined by your specific goals, agency size, target audience, and the results you are hoping to achieve. We understand that Government agencies and Councils can often sub-contract to an agency with no need to go through a request for tender or request for proposal process under set amounts which we have done on many occasions, while we have also responded to Requests for Tenders and Requests for Proposls. 

We are happy to work with you to conduct research on what might be an appropriate budget subject to the target audiences and impact you wish to have.

The key objectives include promoting government services, raising awareness about important issues, improving community engagement, and enhancing public trust and confidence in government agencies and councils.

Digital marketing is crucial for reaching a broader audience. It includes website optimisation, social media management, email campaigns, and online advertising to share information and engage with the community.

Social media can be used to share news, updates, and events, as well as to interact with the community. Government organisations should create content calendars, respond to comments, and engage in conversations to foster community connections.

Transparency can be enhanced by publishing regular reports, maintaining open lines of communication with the public, conducting surveys, and actively responding to inquiries or concerns from the community.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) may include website traffic, social media engagement, email open rates, public attendance at events, survey responses, and feedback from residents. These metrics can help gauge the success of communication strategies.
