BACKGROUND On July 20, 2020 the City Council is scheduled to approve staff's lodging tax request for funding for the development and management of the "Experience Tukwila" marketing campaign. Experience Tukwila will be used to promote the City to visitors, businesses, and future residents. Currently, the City has limited digital assets available to promote the City. The digital assets would contain the following: • Dedicated website focused on the Tukwila community, which may include: o Photos and videos promoting the City. o Community Calendar o Google map of City o Newsletter sign up o Info about visiting, living, and investing in the City. o Other key attributes promoting the City. • Maintenance of Social Media Accounts. o As part of the SavingLocalKC campaign it was determined that Tukwila social media accounts were needed in order to highlight Tukwila businesses. The City created social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, which are updated regularly with content. • Creation and maintenance of a Linkedln page for the City. o Linkedln is a vital asset the City could be using to promote itself, specifically for business attraction. • Email Marketing and Maintenance o Creation of a newsletter to be sent out on a regular basis. The newsletter would focus on things to do in the City, info about the City, and feature area businesses. DISCUSSION Staff is recommending the Mammoth Agency be used for the development and management of Experience Tukwila. The Mammoth Agency is currently under contract with the City to manage the Saving Local, King County initiative. The City conducted interviews with firms in February and March looking for a firm to help the City with its digital platform development and management. While all firms were good and had extensive experience, Mammoth was selected 89 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 because of its previous experience working with governmental agencies and with its background in blending advertising and public relations efforts for campaigns. In addition Mammoth has been good to work with on the Saving Local, KC campaign; providing good service, being responsive, and affordable. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total contract will not exceed $95,000, with funds for the contract coming the City's lodging tax and a Port of Seattle grant. No general funds will be used for this agreement.
