YOUR PITCH
Pick of the Week: How We'd Pitch It
Develop and execute integrated marketing and communications strategies that promote Fairfax County to businesses and talent. The work covers business attraction, retention and expansion, talent attraction and retention, and building the county's profile as a destination. The detailed scope is in the RFP documents on the procurement portal.
Why now: Proposals are due November 18, 2026, 11 days out. Integrated agency-of-record-style scope covering strategy through execution. Economic development authority for a large, high-profile county in the Washington, DC region. B2B and talent-attraction work suits agencies with economic development or technology-sector experience. Budget and term are not in the posted notice; check the full RFP on the portal.
Who should go for it: Full-service marketing and communications agencies with economic development, place-branding or B2B technology experience, ideally familiar with the Northern Virginia and Washington, DC market.
Your opening move: Because this is an RFP play, your ability to show some fantastic creativity is probably pretty limited in this first round. But the things that you have to express in every single answer that you give to their RFP that you truly understand what makes Fairfax County, Virginia, incredible. You should spend a bunch of time understanding the economic base of Fairfax County (btw, it is the data center capital of the world), the cultural vibe of the place & grab just enough Virginia in your answers to sound like a native. And, if you are far flung and don’t have a local presence, it’s time to partner up. Maybe look through Agency Field Guide for agencies with Virginia location or presence. We want to make it easy, so here is that search already done for you: Virginia Agencies.
