Kreab will handle Denmark while APRW will handle duties for the Netherlands.

Separately, GovTech is also looking to appoint a digital and social media consultancy to provide services to advise on strategies, create content and manage daily operations for GovTech’s digital and co-social media channels, according to GeBiz documents seen early this year. The contract will be for a period of one year, with the option to extend for a further one year after the expiry of the initial contract period.

These corporate channels include Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Telegram.

The objectives of the GovTech's digital and social media channels include increasing brand awareness, building brand love and enhancing brand reputation across tech education, products, services and events branding, employer branding and community outreach. 

The appointed agency will now have to develop a social media strategy to ensure content planning and creation, audience engagement, the measurement and reporting of content and paid media performance. They will also have to manage daily operations such as content scheduling, responding to queries and provide insights and propose relevant ideas for trendjacking. 

Other requirements include developing and executing a micro-influencer engagement strategy, organising training sessions to align GovTech’s staff or senior management with the digital media strategy, buy ads, provide video production and podcast production services.
