Project Description

Bid Title:	Marketing Services for Velocity Broadband
Category:	Marketing Services
Status:	Open

Description: The City of Hudson is seeking proposals from qualified marketing firms to support the continued growth and community adoption of Velocity Broadband, the City’s municipally owned fiber internet service. Velocity Broadband currently delivers high speed, reliable fiber connectivity to more than 500 customers and has become a critical component of Hudson’s modern infrastructure. Building on this success, the City is now expanding the network to serve all non-fibered residential areas over the next three years, bringing Fiber to the Home (FttH) service to the entire community. To ensure the success of this expansion and to strengthen Velocity Broadband’s brand presence across both business and residential markets, the City of Hudson (City) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive marketing services. The goal of this RFP is to identify an experienced marketing partner capable of developing and executing strategies that increase awareness, support customer acquisition, and promote the value of our city-owned fiber network. The selected Consultant will help shape messaging, outreach, and engagement efforts as we extend this critical service to every corner of Hudson. The scope of this RFP includes the development and execution of a comprehensive marketing strategy to support the continued growth of Velocity Broadband and its expansion into Hudson’s residential market. The selected Consultant will work closely with City staff to evaluate current branding, messaging, outreach efforts, and customer engagement practices. This includes reviewing existing materials, identifying opportunities to strengthen market presence, and shaping unified messaging that resonates with both business and residential audiences. The Consultant will be responsible for creating a cohesive marketing plan that may include brand refinement, campaign development, digital and print advertising strategies, social media engagement, website content recommendations, and community-focused outreach initiatives. Additional activities may involve market research, competitive analysis, audience segmentation, and the creation of promotional assets to drive awareness and adoption as the network expands citywide. The engagement will conclude with a comprehensive marketing strategy and implementation roadmap, including recommended campaign timelines, messaging frameworks, creative concepts, performance metrics, and guidance for ongoing communication efforts as Velocity Broadband extends fiber service to every home and business in Hudson.
